 “We did feel vulnerable as actors, to be honest, to be naked,” Radha says, “But it was also sort of liberating, in a way, to…(laughing) be looked up by thirty people who got their clothes on. I mean, how much of our culture is about protecting ourselves and hiding in these sort of masks that we carry around, when you are in that way?” When asked about whether she felt there was anything to gain from being nude in a movie, Mitchell philosophized about it as a personal learning experience. “You learn a lot about yourself (laughing),” she claims, “It pushes a lot of your insecurities about your body and how you’re presented and you’re like, ‘Fuck,’ excuse my language, ‘This is how I am, that’s it,’ and there’s a truth to that. That’s what I thought was interesting about that scene. It is very honest.” She also shared how much she enjoyed the opportunity to work with director Robert Benton, who won an Academy Award for his 1979 film Kramer Vs.

And then, there’s this kind of messy bit where these naked people are slapping each other, but taught from the point of view of someone that is 75, even that seems ridiculous. You know what I mean?” “You think you take your life so seriously, especially when you’re in your thirties, when your choices seem to be so significant, like if I do this, it’s going to lead me there, I don’t want to mess up my life or whatever,” she continues, “But for somebody that is 75, it’s over and you could see the silliness of it all and that it’s going to happen again and again. And there’ll be generations of these similar kind of stories where we’re all going through the same thing and I think that’s what special about the film.”
Radha also believes that it was how the film approached the content that made her and her cast more ... |
