The Duchess (2008)
The Duchess (2008) is a period drama film directed by Saul Dibb and starring Keira Knightley and Ralph Fiennes. The film tells the story of the 18th-century aristocrat Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire, and her tumultuous life.
The Duchess is a film that is full of sexual moments. From the very beginning, the audience is presented with a scene of Georgiana and her husband, the Duke of Devonshire, in bed together. The Duke is clearly more interested in his mistress than in his wife, and this sets the tone for the rest of the film.
The sexual tension between Georgiana and her lover, Charles Grey, is palpable throughout the film. The two share a passionate kiss in the garden, and later, when they are alone in a room, they share a passionate embrace. The audience is left to wonder if the two will take their relationship further.
The film also features a scene in which Georgiana is propositioned by a man in a brothel. This scene is both shocking and titillating, and it serves to highlight the double standards of the time.

A woman mentions that her husband is with his mistress.
Apparently, there are also at least two versions that differ in their aspect ratio and/or cropping. In one (as seen on the Pluto streaming service), you can see a sliver of Georgiana's rear end just after the Duke has undressed her on their wedding night. This is not visible on other viewing services.
A husband and wife are in bed having sex; we see mostly their heads and the male's bare upper body moving, but you can see one of the wife's breasts very briefly
One completely minor female character is very briefly shown nude from the backside as she runs out of a (dark) room.
In one scene we can hear the intense sounds of lovemaking from behind a closed door; nothing is shown.
In another scene, a man rapes his wife
A woman, staying for a sleepover with a married female friend, explains that lovemaking can be pleasurable by telling her to shut her eyes and imagine a man and then gently stroking her torso and possibly lower (off screen). It is not clear whether the gasps of pleasure are a result of the fantasy or the physical contact.
A man and woman have sex, she is still clothed but lies on top of his naked body. He thrusts into her from underneath.
One rape scene around the halfway mark. The female is forced onto the bed by her abusive husband. He begins to force himself on her before the camera cuts to an outside shot of the door. Loud screaming from the woman is heard.
