"The sex scenes with Uma are kind of disturbing," Pattinson told the Daily Record newspaper.
"Her character Madeleine kind of uses sex as a sort of weapon and my character thinks like an animal. There are a lot of sex scenes in this film, so I'm asking quite a lot of myself, and with lots of different people as well."
The film is a screen adaptation of French author Guy de Maupassant's second novel published in 1885.
Pattison plays a Parisian soldier-turned-journalist, Georges Duroy, who rose to power from a poor ex-NCO to one of the most successful men in Paris, largely by manipulating a series of powerful, intelligent, and wealthy mistresses.
Also in the cast: Christina Ricci, reportedly as a promiscuous young housewife, and Kristin Scott Thomas.
The film being helmed by debutant director Declan Donnellan, will start filming in February 2010.
Pattinson also confirmed that the start date for filming 'Breaking Dawn' hasn't yet been decided.
"Not knowing when 'Breaking Dawn' is going to shoot - because it changes all the time - is a kind of burden, to have this thing where you don't know when it's going to happen," he said.
