For all the labeling of the American entertainment industry as sex-crazed and graphic, they are still nothing but puritan prudes compared to the (seemingly effortlessly) daring and creative European film-makers who continuously come up with unconventional sexual arrangements. Woody Allen's upcoming Vicky Cristina Barcelona is clearly inspired by the works of the European masters.

Here are a few interesting European films to check out:

The Dreamers - twins with an identity issue and a clear lust for each other, with an American youth literally and figuratively sandwiched between them

Love Songs - a couple in a crisis enters a threesome relationship, anguish, jealousy, and love ensues

Waterlilies - young girls experience sexual awakening, but why just play with boys when they can play games with each other too?

Summer Storm - boy is in love with a boy who is in love with a girl, and no one knows how to deal

Guys and Balls - finally, a less angsty title, featuring proud homosexuals forming their own soccer team, including three middle aged men engaged in a comfortable BDSM threesome relationship, portrayed with dignity and no trace of mockery.
