Emma Stone Discusses Filming Intimate Scenes in
The 34-year-old actress stars in the lead role of Bella Baxter in Yorgos Lanthimos's surreal adaptation of Alasdair Grey's novel.
Director Yorgos Lanthimos expressed his gratitude for Emma Stone's dedication to her character and the film's intimate sequences. Speaking at the Venice Film Festival, where "Poor Things" premiered at the Sala Darsena cinema, Lanthimos noted the importance of portraying sexuality authentically in the film.
"It's a shame that Emma could not be here to speak more about it, because it will all be coming from me. First of all, sex is an intrinsic part of the novel itself, her freedom about everything including sexuality," Yorgos explained. He continued, "Secondly, it was very important for me to not make a film that would be prudish because that would be like completely betraying the main character."
Yorgos emphasized the need for Emma Stone to approach these scenes without reservations and commended her understanding of the character's requirements. Having previously collaborated on projects like "The Favourite," their rapport made the process smoother. Lanthimos remarked, "The great thing about me and Emma is that we have made four films together; there is a shorthand, and we can communicate without having to explain or talk too much about things."
Elle McAlpine served as the intimacy coordinator on the film, and Yorgos praised her positive influence on set. He acknowledged that, initially, this role might have felt threatening to filmmakers, but with the right person, it proved beneficial in creating a comfortable and intimate environment for the cast and crew.
Yorgos Lanthimos spoke about "Poor Things" during the press conference, describing it as a unique and exceptional film that defies easy categorization. While set in the Victorian era, the movie explores contemporary themes related to freedom, perception, and the role of women in society. Sets were constructed to ensure an intimate atmosphere during sex scenes, fostering a sense of comfort for the actors.
The director, along with Emma Stone, meticulously planned these scenes to convey various aspects of human desire and idiosyncrasies. Yorgos emphasized the importance of embracing these aspects while maintaining a humorous tone throughout the film.
"Poor Things," which began development in 2009, awaits an official rating but promises to be a thought-provoking and entertaining addition to Emma Stone's filmography. The cast also includes William Dafoe, Mark Ruffalo, Ramy Youssef, Margaret Qualley, Jerrod Carmichael, and Christopher Abbott.
