Interesting. I'll see if I can find that interview somewhere, should be interesting (Edit: found it) Legolas Send a noteboard - 18/10/2013 07:57:23 PM

View original postIf I remember correctly she said that they looked like what a straight man imagines lesbian sex to be like, rather than the reality.

Heh. That might well be the case, yeah... have you read the graphic novel?

I'm more curious, when it comes to comparing the movie with its inspiration (they do iirc mention that it's merely "loosely based on" or some such), whether the graphic novel is quite as infuriating on the climactic conflict (which quite robbed me of any sympathy for Emma I had up to that point and retroactively killed much of the romance for me).

Edit: Well, not an interview precisely, but the author's comments on her personal website. In French, but an English translation is available. She's very careful to avoid criticizing the director's interpretation of her work in general, stressing that the work has been out of her hands from the moment it was published - any reader will have their own interpretation, Kéchiche merely turned his interpretation into a successful movie. But yeah, she's clearly not impressed by the sex.

It was intended to be humorous and poke fun at ourselves as much as you. - 15/10/2013 10:27:45 PM 926 Views

It's obvious to many Americans also. Just saying. - 16/10/2013 12:28:30 PM 833 Views
I think it's silly and thin-skinned to get offended at statements of the obvious. - 16/10/2013 03:07:18 PM 805 Views
I will clarify - 16/10/2013 05:43:32 PM 741 Views
I fail to see any snarkiness, or who would be "irked". - 16/10/2013 10:33:46 PM 768 Views

I seem to recall the author of the graphic novel, Julie Maroh, also criticising the sex scenes - 18/10/2013 05:55:39 PM 1067 Views
