“life is a sensual business”

From the current issue of V Magazine:

Swinton is intent on bringing about a parallel revolution in cinema. Together with Guadagnino—“she’s a filmmaker,” he says, “not an actress”—she is planning to develop more projects that emphasize “pure cinema,” she explains, “cinema that pushes [film] forward as ‘sense-ational’—that is, engaging all the senses… We want to make films that one can lose oneself in. Unexpected. Maybe unimaginable.”

If transformation is a recurrent theme in her work, sex is, too. Why, you might ask, is it so important to explore one’s libidinous side? “How could one not?” she replies. “I don’t think of it as a side, as having corners. Life is a sensual business. And to deny it or edit it would be one big waste.”
