There's an epic Italian movie from 1976 with the title 1900 that sports a surprising cast of American Hollywood royalty like Burt Lancaster. One powerful and sexually explicit scene with Robert DeNiro and Donald Sutherland goes beyond what you'd see in US movies, but they get away with it since they're speaking Italian. I was personally amazed at how when nudity is used to strengthen the drama, the unclothed human body shows a tremendous range of emotions. The problem viewing it on US media is that such key scenes are edited out and the viewer is clueless how key aspects of the relationships have developed.

Wow! Thank you for sharing this. I actually saw 1900 in a movie theater about 5 or 6 years after its release and my main take away was that it was disjointed! It was supposed to be this big epic movie and I felt it was so lacking. I had totally forgotten but now I think I remember some controversy about editing for the American audience. I'm going to have look for the directors cut.
There was a lot of nudity in Blue Lagoon.https://vimeo.com/59670765This scene was the most surprising to me:https://youtu.be/IeNtuxBUalA
Growing up I enjoyed watching the blue lagoon this is why I would go skinny dipping every chance I got
