This Danish film was a darling at Sundance. Original title: “Dronningen”
A successful lawyer jeopardizes her career and threatens to tear her family apart after engaging in an affair with her teenage stepson.
The film was controversial because of a fellatio scene.
Trine Dyrholm talked about the sex in this movie and revealed that in the fellatio scene a prosthetic penis was used: ‘We had the first meeting about the nude scenes very early on with both the producer and the director. They told us what they had in mind. And we agreed that you could go to the producer along the way if there was something someone didn’t want to go along with. We were even sent storyboard illustrations of the scene frame by frame, and the prosthetics that would be used were made. I would almost compare working on nude scenes here to working on a stunt scene. When you have to do that kind of scene, it’s always a bit awkward, but because it was such a safe working space and everything was agreed in advance, it worked.’
Aesthete’s videos (and one more of you-know-what) are here.
