When hubby discovers Rampling in her secret Parisian love nest, he pulls back the sheets to reveal her simian playmate. Eternals, Marvel’s sprawling, cod-philosophical saga of godlike beings protecting Earth from alien beasties. We’re talking about the famous fake orgasm in Katz’s Deli, in which squeaky-clean Ryan reaches a screaming climax (presumably over the pastrami). From the latter cut, naturally, comes the famous lesbian scene, starring PenthousePets Anneka di Lorenzo and Lori Wagner, who engage in a three-minute romp with zero relevance to the plot.Von Trier’s tribute to Tarkovsky is a classic tale of parental tragedy: A young couple retreats to a wood cabin to cope with the loss of their child, they make friends with a self-cannibalizing fox, and then the woman destroys everyone’s genitalia with a rock and a pair of scissors. In most films, the pain that Sada experiences would immediately classify the act as sexual assault, but In the Realm of the Sensesrenders our judgments irrelevant.
