“Now that sex is available to us in hardcore porno films, death remains the one last taboo in cinema,” wrote the film critic Amos Vogel in 1980. Sex and death, Vogel believed, were the two facets of life hidden behind closed doors – with cinema one of the few artistic mediums with the ability to bring those private human rites out into the open. More than 40 years after Vogel’s assertion, death is still stigmatised onscreen.
