FUCKING SHERLOCKIAN

the sex scenes in blue is the warmest color were clearly shot for the male gaze and have been condemned by julie maroh, who wrote the graphic novel it was based on. the actresses themselves, lea seydoux and adele exarchopoulos, were harassed by the director abdellatif kechiche while filming those scenes, forced to do an excessive amount of takes to the point where it was ‘humiliating’

Zachary’s choices in his performance often surprised me, in a very positive way. I often thought, ‘I would never have thought to do that, and I think that’s a wonderful idea!’ ‘Frankly, I was extremely jealous of his scenes with Zoe Saldana and I think it’s totally unfair that I never got to do that. I will never forgive the writers and the director, for having put me in this position, to have to be watching that, rather than participating.[…] Zachary and Zoe are wonderful together. It’s such a passionate and compassionate performance by Zoe that I was just so pleased to be a part of this movie, with all of these good people.
