Kristen Stewart shared insights into her liberating experience filming a sex scene for her latest film, ‘Love Lies Bleeding’, contrasting it with her previous challenging experiences.
The acclaimed actress from ‘Twilight’ stars alongside Katy O’Brian in this gripping 80s crime thriller directed by Rose Glass. Since its January premiere, the film has been praised for its authentic portrayal of the protagonists’ relationship, largely attributed to the work with an intimacy coordinator.
Stewart emphasized the role of the intimacy coordinator in enhancing the scene’s freedom and authenticity, telling Yahoo, “It felt free. It’s like having an open conversation about what everyone wants, allowing for really good sex.” This marks a departure from her past experiences, where sex scenes felt unstructured and lacking direction. She highlighted the precision and dynamic power play in ‘Love Lies Bleeding’, crediting directed efforts for avoiding self-consciousness and achieving a meaningful scene.
Discussing her attraction to the project, Stewart remarked on the script’s boldness and reflection of the audacious spirit of the 80s, noting the balance between being considerate and embracing human complexity. Stewart values portraying queer characters beyond just moral lessons, aiming for a portrayal that’s both fun and profound.
