Jan. 22nd, 2003 03:14 pmJohn Cameron Mitchell, writer/director/star of Hedwig And The Angry Inch, is making a new movie where he wants to cast actors willing to have real sex on camera.
From this weeks Savage Love:
American movies don't show "real" sex, only simulated sex—not at least until John Cameron Mitchell's next film comes out. Mitchell is currently casting his next movie, a film that will show real actors having real, non-simulated sex. "I want to make a film that uses real sex, but that is also a real film—narratively, emotionally," Mitchell says. "The French are doing it," in movies like Baise Moi and Romance, "but it's de-eroticized and pretentious. In other words, French. So why are Americans, and American filmmakers, so afraid of sex? They're doing it in Europe. Why can't we do it here?"
