Soon thirty years of the premiere of low instincts will be completed and the film continues to generate controversy.The film starring Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas did not go unnoticed at the time of her, especially by the bold scene in which the actress crosses her legs, during an interrogation, and it can be seen that she did not wear under her underwear of her.
The director Paul Verhoeven, taking advantage of his time at the Cannes Festival, went out to deny Stone who had accused him of having cheated her to film that scene.Circulating, the director said: "She gave me the underwear of her and my wife washed her," according to the version he gave to the newspaper ABC.
The Dutchman Verhoeven is in Cannes to present his most recent work, Benedetta, and what better than having all the press listening to answer the actress.According to Stone, as she told her autobiography, she had felt betrayed by the director to be able to perform the famous leg crossing scene.However, Verhoeven was annoyed by that statement and gave his version, luxurious.
"I'm not surprised that she mentioned me, she has been lying for 30 years," said the director."Although we get along and I continually tell her that she has a different memory than I have."Determined to deny Sharon's version, Verhoeven added an anecdote to the situation to base his position.
"I would tell you that my memory is superior. She knew perfectly what she was doing, how she was going to shoot that scene without knowing it. It is impossible. It is true that she took her underwear and an interesting detail that she omits is that it gave it to meAs a gift. And my wife washed them. I'm not inventing this. It's true, "he says.
In her book The Beauty of Living Twice."I am very proud," she says.
But the director seems willing to take the counter with his own version of what happened almost three decades ago."Now she says she felt betrayed. That she slapped me, which she never did. Then, I started thinking and I came to the conclusion: 'If I were the director and had that scene, would I show it?''Of course I would use it.' So I decided it was fine, "says Verhoeven.
As to corroborate that his actions was correct, Verhoeven says that the same will not happen, in twenty years, with the protagonists of Benedetta, who also has several nude scenes."I gave them the script, we talked before shooting and I asked them if they wanted an intimacy coordinator. That was all. There was no need to talk about nudes. In my present there is no shame," he said.
The film recreates the intimate relationship between two nuns in a convent in the Italy of the seventeenth century, in which eroticism is not lacking and stars Charlotte Rampling, Virginie Efira and Daphne Patakia.
Controversial and disruptive, Verhoeven, 82, already filmed several films with themes that put religious values in check."I don't want to make a movie 'About' Jesus, I'm working in France and I want to make a thriller about Washington. That is my hope," he explained."The teachers of Dutch painting created their best pieces when they turned 80, so I hope my best movie is about to arrive," he confessed.
