'It's so refreshing to read something that is as bold and crazy as Infinity Pool. I was thrilled from the very first page of it.'
That's what I thought to myself. He's conducted himself in a really sweet and generous way, and he was lovely with the hair and makeup team. We met in the makeup department. So yeah, just a really nice guy. And then we got to know each other while working and I just thought he was incredibly talented and extremely hardworking. Very present on set and always trying to make the scene better, and trying to push it to another level. Really just a wonderful scene partner.
Once we got into it, it doesn't sound very fun because it was like, 'Oh, just another day at the office.' I love that sequence and the way it ties in with the music. It's so evocative, and I really love it. But it was incredibly technical shooting it because Brandon and Karim work a lot with different lights and different effects that they want to do in-camera.
I read that initially this film was rated NC-17, but after re-edits it achieved an R-rating. How much of an impact did the edits have on the final result of film?I just want to mention that the changes were minimal. So the R-rated version, it's not like Brandon had to cut 10 great minutes of the film. It's a couple of frames here and there. Some of the most graphic stuff that had to go was not only sexual stuff but violent stuff.
Sometimes directors feel like they have to compromise a bit too much, and the movie that they're releasing is not their version of it. This is not my words, it's Brandon's. He feels very proud of the R-rated version, and people won't miss out on a lot of great stuff if they can't see the NC-17 version. It's still very graphic, it's a lot of body horror stuff. And it's a brand-new Cronenberg movie. So, of course, it's gonna be graphic and provocative.
