Wilde, whose acting credits include everything from the medical drama “House” to Ron Howard’s “Rush” and Clint Eastwood’s “Richard Jewell,” is wearing a black T-shirt, baggy jeans and scuffed-up Converse low tops. My early conversations with the cast were all about how the audience has to buy into the fantasy.” I think it’s integral to the story itself and how the audience is meant to connect to them. “The impractical nature of their sex speaks to their ferocious desire for one another.
“It’s all about immediacy and extreme passion for one another,” Wilde says of the film’s complicated central relationship. Wilde, 38, sees the world through a post-feminist prism, and the women in her films drive action on their own, without the help of men. “Why are we more comfortable with female pleasure when it’s two women on film? In hetero sex scenes in film, the focus on men as the recipients of pleasure is almost ubiquitous.”
“Female pleasure, the best versions of it that you see nowadays, are in queer films,” Wilde says.
