There is a fine line between an erotic film and a psychosexual film that often gets blurred. The sexuality, the nudity in an erotic thriller or drama is usually in isolation.
It may or may not be a part of the holistic fiber of the film. While the moments of truth, the plot triggers, and the essence of a psychosexual film, lie in the sexual reality of the characters. The wavering effect of sexual appreciation is intensely cerebral in a psychosexual movie rather than a body experience, and an actual sex scene or nudity is not even a mandate.
But, the Freudian narratives of sexual identity define a psychosexual movie. Sex and its consequences are viewed through a critical lens more than eroticism here. So, you might not find such titles on my list. Here are my favorite Psychosexual movies, that I would genuinely recommend to anyone who is ready to see beyond the antiseptic, very clinical, mostly pretentious portrayal of sexual liberation on-screen.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments. Revanche is a superb existential, German-language Austrian thriller. Revanche means revenge, as well as, a second chance. Spielmann plays with this dichotomy like a fire, which engulfs the audience. For the role of Tamara, many young Russian actresses were auditioned, in Moscow, Kiev, and Bucharest.
Then finally, actress Irina Potapenko was found in Berlin. Since she plays a prostitute, to prepare for the role, she moved into a brothel in Vienna for a few days, observing clients and getting to know the life.
