Speaking to Variety, Anne explained how she looked to Robinne Lee‘s novel that inspired the movie for inspiration.
“Intimate acts! In the book, Robinne describes intimate acts with the most unbelievable energy. In their first physical sexual connection, Hayes brings Solène to orgasm while [she is fully] clothed,” she recalled. “That became our North Star in terms of expressing cinematic sex in a way that makes it about her pleasure, while also making the point that a huge part of pleasure is giving someone else pleasure.”
The Idea of You premieres on Prime Video on May 2.
