Michael Haneke´s The White Ribbon, Bertrand Bonello´s L´Apollonide, The Girl with a Pearl earring by Peter Webber or The Silence of Joan by Philippe Ramos are European arthouse films, which could be seen as films based on history or historical events.

In b.a. work, I would like to analyze look healthy feminist view of the author's creation of director Jane Campion, who openly admits female desire, but it is still about erotica, not porn. I want to describe the author's style, which in my opinion, poetry beautifully balances the female perception of the world, as well as his "darker" exciting, often neglected page. The analysis will be based on the literature of authors such as Laura Mulvey, Visual and other pleasures, visual pleasure and narrative film)
Roland Barthes - Pleasure of the Text
Witold Gombrowicz - Our erotic drama
Peter Hanáková - Pandora's Box
