Actress and director Olivia Wilde revealed that the original trailer for “Don’t Worry Honey” worried the MPA (Motion Picture Association), the body responsible for the age rating of US film productions.
In an interview with the Associated Press before the premiere of her film at the Venice Film Festival, the director said she had to cut scenes from the trailer due to the sexual nature of its content.
“There were a lot of things that were taken out of the trailer. The MPA came strong and I had to cut some scenes, which upset me because I thought the scenes put the video somewhere else. But obviously, we still live. in a very modest society. “, he complained.
The censored scenes showed the sexual relationship between the characters of Harry Styles and Florence Pugh.
“I think the lack of eroticism in American cinema is something new. And when we talk about female pleasure, it’s something we don’t see when we’re not dealing with queer cinema,” she added.
Since films for lesbian audiences are never questioned, he believes there are problems in understanding what audiences are willing to see.
“The public is not as demure as companies think they are. Yet people are angry. I mean, people were angry at me for it,” he said. “I think it’s a testament to the film. We want to be provocative. The idea is not to make you feel safe.”
“Don’t Worry, Honey” arrives in Venice on Monday (5/9), after drawing attention to several behind-the-scenes intrigues, fueled by the departure of actor Shia LaBeouf at the beginning of the project, by the director’s relationship with Harry Styles, which would lead to the end of his marriage and Florence Pugh’s alleged discomfort with it all.
The second feature film directed by Olivia Wilde is set in an isolated desert suburb of California in the 1950s. However, the seemingly perfect life in that place has one condition: the absolute secrecy of the husbands’ work. Nobody talks about the mysterious Vittoria Project, which would mean “changing the world”. But the signs that something is wrong are increasingly evident, with nightmares, blackouts and coincidences marking the lives of wives. And when Pugh’s character begins to question everything, it’s not just her marriage to Styles that is at stake.
After its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, the film will be released in Brazilian theaters on 22 September, one day before its release in the United States.
