Benedict Andrews – „Jean Seberg – Against All Enemies“ (2019)

Sie können mir erzählen, was Sie wollen. Ich halte Kristen Stewart für die derzeitig aufregendste Frau im (amerikanischen) Filmgeschäft. Mir ist sie schon 2002 an der Seite von Jodie Foster aufgefallen – und da war sie eigentlich noch ein Kind. Seitdem habe ich kaum etwas von ihr verpasst. Und ich sehe in ihr eine würdige Nachfolgerin eben all jener meiner persönlichen Filmgöttinnen. Darunter, ganz ohne jeden Zweifel, auch und besonders: Jean Seberg. (ARD, Wh.)

“He decided to go back to Canada, and kudos to Crave who had the courage to welcome the full project...For me, that’s a great example of not being Hollywood and being authentic. Authenticity is something that really works.”

Unable to Stop AI, SAG-AFTRA Mulls a Studio Tax on Digital Performers

SAG-AFTRA is considering whether to seek a contribution to a union fund every time a studio uses a synthetic performer in a film or TV show.

Il Fatto Quotidiano: “Quando all’improvviso ti ritrovi una persona in più nella stanza che ti guarda mentre fingi di fare sesso è imbarazzante. Non mi servono indicazioni su come farlo”: così Heather Graham

“È imbarazzante”. Heather Graham non usa giri di parole per descrivere il nuovo modo in cui Hollywood gira le scene di sesso dopo il movimento #MeToo, con l’inserimento sul set degli intimacy coordinator. Si tratta di figure professionali che lavorano su set cinematografici e televisivi per gestire e supervisionare le scene intime (baci, nudità, sesso simulato), garantendo che tutto avvenga in modo sicuro, consensuale e rispettoso per gli attori.
L’attrice, oggi 56enne, riconosce senza esitazioni il valore di questo cambiamento, come riporta Page Six: “Il MeToo è stato straordinario e gli intimacy coordinator hanno ottime intenzioni“. Ma poi arriva il rovescio della medaglia: “Se sei abituata a lavorare senza e all’improvviso ti ritrovi una persona in più nella stanza che ti guarda mentre fingi di fare sesso… è strano. Ed è un po’ imbarazzante”. Il punto, spiega, non è mettere in discussione la funzione di queste figure, nate per proteggere gli attori, ma l’effetto concreto sul set. “A volte penso: potete far uscire tutte queste persone dalla stanza?”.
“Ho avuto proprio voglia di dire: ‘stai zitto'”
E poi c’è il tema del “doppio comando”. Graham racconta un episodio preciso: “Un intimacy coordinator ha iniziato a dirmi come fare una scena di sesso. Tipo: ‘Quando fai questo, puoi fare così’. E io ho pensato: ‘Non sei il regista. Non mi servono indicazioni su come fare sesso nella scena’”. La sensazione, dice Graham, è stata netta: “Ho avuto proprio voglia di dire: stai zitto. Dillo al regista, perché non voglio due persone che mi dirigono. Crea solo confusione”. Per chi ha alle spalle una carriera lunga (da Boogie Nights a The Hangover) il punto, secondo l’attrice, è anche un altro: l’esperienza. “Forse è utile quando sei più giovane e non sai ancora farti valere. Ma a questo punto mi sento abbastanza forte”. E quindi la conclusione è semplice: “Non voglio troppe persone nella stanza“.
L'articolo “Quando all’improvviso ti ritrovi una persona in più nella stanza che ti guarda mentre fingi di fare sesso è imbarazzante. Non mi servono indicazioni su come farlo”: così Heather Graham proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano.

“When suddenly you find someone else in the room looking at you while you pretend to have sex, it’s embarrassing. I don’t need directions on how to do it”: so Heather Graham

“It’s awkward.” Heather Graham doesn’t mince words when describing the new way Hollywood is handling sex scenes after the #MeToo movement, with the introduction of intimacy coordinators on set. These are professional figures who work on film and television sets to manage and oversee intimate scenes (kisses, nudity, simulated sex), ensuring that everything happens safely, consensually, and respectfully for the actors.

The actress, now 56, readily acknowledges the value of this change, as reported by Page Six: “MeToo was extraordinary and intimacy coordinators have good intentions.” But then comes the other side of the coin: “If you’re used to working without and suddenly you find someone else in the room looking at you while you’re pretending to have sex… it’s strange. And it’s a little awkward.” The point, she explains, is not to question the function of these figures, born to protect actors, but the concrete effect on set. “Sometimes I think: you can just get all these people out of the room?”

“I really wanted to say: ‘Shut up.’”

And then there’s the issue of “double command.” Graham recounts a specific incident: “An intimacy coordinator started telling me how to do a sex scene. Like: ‘When you do this, you can do this.’ And I thought: ‘You’re not the director. I don’t need instructions on how to do sex in the scene.’” The feeling, she says, was clear: “I really wanted to say: shut up. Tell the director, because I don’t want two people directing me. It just creates confusion.” For someone with a long career (from Boogie Nights to The Hangover), the actress believes the point is also another: experience. “Maybe it’s useful when you’re younger and you don’t know how to stand up for yourself yet. But at this point, I feel pretty strong.” And so the conclusion is simple: “I don’t want too many people in the room.”

“When suddenly you find someone else in the room looking at you while you’re pretending to have sex is awkward. I don’t need instructions on how to do it,” says Heather Graham, according to Il Fatto Quotidiano.
