Sean Baker's Anora, a love story turned screwball comedy, has taken the film world by storm, winning the Palme d'Or at Cannes and amassing awards season buzz. The film, focusing on a young sex worker's whirlwind romance, has sparked debate about intimacy coordinators on set, as lead actress Mikey Madison opted out of using one for the film's many intimate scenes.
One of the year's buzziest films is Anora , a two-hour-twenty-minute love story turned screwball comedy from the director behind The Florida Project and Red Rocket, Sean Baker . Anora premiered at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in the Spring, where it was awarded the festival's highest accolade, the Palme d'Or, a prize given to the director of the Best Feature Film in the Official Competition each year at the festival.
In a conversation with Pamela Anderson during Variety's Actors on Actors series, Anderson asked Mikey Madison whether there was an intimacy coordinator on set.'For our film, we didn't,' Madison said. 'It was a choice that I made that the filmmakers offered to me if I wanted to bring on an intimacy coordinator or not.
