The Devil's Backbone (2001)
The Spanish horror film, The Devil’s Backbone, is a classic example of how a movie can be both terrifying and sexually charged. Directed by Guillermo del Toro, the film follows the story of Carlos, a young boy who is sent to a remote orphanage in the middle of the Spanish Civil War.
The Devil’s Backbone is filled with sexual moments that are both subtle and overt. One of the most obvious is the relationship between Carlos and Jacinto, the orphanage’s caretaker. The two share a tender moment when Jacinto gives Carlos a kiss on the forehead, and there is a palpable tension between them. This tension is further explored when Jacinto takes Carlos to a nearby lake and they share a passionate kiss.
The film also features a number of other sexual moments. One of the most memorable is when Carlos and his friend, Santi, sneak into the bedroom of the orphanage’s headmistress, Carmen. The two boys watch as Carmen undresses and then passionately kisses her lover. This scene is both erotic and disturbing, and serves to illustrate the power dynamics at play in the orphanage.
