“I wasn’t interested at all,” said Guadagnino in a Hollywood Reporter article at the time. These quotes are remarkably similar to director Luca Guadagnino’s response to the lack of explicit sex scenes in his 2017 film Call Me by Your Name. Except that’s never happened with a gay film starring straight actors before, has it?ĭuh, of course it has. All this talk about “lovemaking” instead of sex, and how they didn’t want to be “prurient,” leaves the impression that they actually just don’t want to show gay sex. In a Vanity Fair first look for his new film My Policeman, in which he plays a closeted officer having an illegal love affair, director Michael Grandage says he wanted to “quite literally show something that was about ‘lovemaking’ in the broadest sense of the word, something that was choreographically interesting and not just some kind of thrusting sense of sex going on.” He was inspired by Alain Renais’s 1959 film Hiroshima Mon Amour, which has “very sculptural” body language. The only type of pig Harry Styles will be in his upcoming film is a cop.
Harry Styles (also not having explicit gay sex here).
