While shooting exteriors in San Francisco, Myrna, Bill Powell and his unofficial fiancée Jean Harlow were to stay St. Francis Hotel:
“At the St. Francis in San Francisco, they had reserved a Flyshaker Suite for Bill and me. The management assumed we were married. Already they considered us a couple after only five pictures together! Well, of course it was hysterical. Here was Jean, but we couldn´t be obvious about the situation with the press on our heels. To complicate the matters further, conventioneers had taken every other room except a little hall bedroom downstairs somewhere. I didn´t know what to do, but Jean was marvellous. “There is nothing for you to do,” she said. “We’ll just have to put Bill downstairs.” I never saw this room, so I don’t know how bad it was, but Bill complained bitterly, let me tell you, angling to get upstairs.”

Slavoj Zizek on Bergman’s Persona
The Pervert’s Guide To Cinema (2006), dir. by Sophie Fiennes
I can’t be Zizek because Zizek is Zizek.
If you scroll up and down a bunch it looks like he’s dancing
huh, it does a little.
But I do agree with him, that scene is quite erotic.
There is a visually erotic scen from Jean Vigo’s L’Atalante. The two lovers are seperated, in different beds, rolling around, sleepless, thinking of each other.
