The actress, who plays a woman pursuing an intense affair with a married man in the controversial film, admitted that she did have some reservations while signing up the film.
However, Mitchell added that she was comfortable enough with the scenes to agree to it.
“Normally in these things there’s some sort of statement in the contract like ‘You will show this much of your boob’ or whatever. It’s very specific, whereas in this they just said. Are you comfortable with this or not, because if you’re not, don’t worry about the film. So you had to sort of sit there and think about, Am I comfortable with that? Am I not comfortable? How do I feel about that?’ Obviously I was comfortable with it enough to agree to it and then the experience of it I found quite liberating in a way,” Moviehole quoted her, as saying.
Talking about full frontal naked scenes in the film directed by Oscar winner Robert Benton, the 32-year-old said that the scenes have ‘naturalism’.
“It’s certainly confronting to play out but the sensibility, and it’s more European than it is American. It’s not so puritanical and people do get naked in the bedroom together and that’s kind of how it is. So if the story is going to be real it’s going to be a reality of two people having a fight, in the nude, as you would, in life. People behave that way, so there’s a naturalism to that but then, to play out that naturalism, granted the convention of our society, in front of a bunch of crew members is something else,” she added.
