Scenes from a Separated Life is an erotic film. Metaphorically, and nearly literally, its minute-worth of images imply sex—sex happening, or having happened, or possibly about to. Nothing is certain though, not even the relationship between the couple onscreen. They are together because the film puts them together, but if they’re lovers, or ever were, it’s because we’ve imagined them to be.
Imagination is a powerful thing.
