The Favourite
The latest film from Yorgos Lanthimos (Dogtooth, The Lobster, Killing of a Sacred Deer) brings us plenty more psycho-sexual drama, as well as the nude debut of Oscar winner Emma Stone! From a user over at Recapped, here's what we know...
Rachel Weisz walks in to Olivia Colman's room and finds Emma Stone in bed with Olivia after sex. Emma is laying on her right side, looking in Rachel's direction and smirking. Emma's left breast is fully exposed for several seconds. (The right breast was, I think, obscured by sheets.) It's a straight-on view. The scene was dark enough that, at first, I wasn't sure if she was naked or not. I honestly can't remember if the room gets lighter because of the open door or if my eyes just adjusted, but it became clear that it was a fully exposed breast. I would guess it was probably visible for 3-5 seconds.
Thanks to our Skin Skouts, we also know that the scene occurs one hour and two minutes into the film! In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Stone intimated that the nude scene was her idea...
“I had the sheet up around me, and as we were shooting it and we did a few takes, I said, ‘Can I please just be [naked]?’ I think it’s going to give Sarah [Rachel's character] something to look at when she sees that I’m not just under the sheet covered up. Olivia was like, ‘No, don’t do it!’ [director] Yorgos [Lanthimos] was like, ‘Are you sure that’s what you want to do?’ And I was like, ‘Absolutely.’ I chose to do it. I was like, this makes sense to me. It’s an absolute [Stone flips the bird] to Sarah.”
Thankfully it survived the final cut and as soon as we have the content, we'll bring it to you!
