'Red, White and Royal Blue' Director on Crafting Intimate Sex Scenes
The Big Picture Just like the novel that inspired it, Red, White & Royal Blue doesn’t shy away from letting viewers get to know its protagonists Alex and Henry in the biblical sense. In order to let us fully grasp the passion that both boys share, director Matthew López told Collider that he thought long and hard about how he would approach Alex and Henry’s intimacy.
“I wanted it to look beautiful. I wanted it to feel tender. I wanted it to be sexy. I also wanted it to operate on a physical logic that leaves no doubt in the audience’s mind, what precisely is happening, at any one moment in the scene. But the most important thing to me is that we captured in their faces, the wonder and the newness, and perhaps the fear, the trepidation, and the excitement.
Not Even Royals Can Rush Intimacy In order to achieve that, López reveals that Zakhar Perez, Galitzine, intimacy coordinator Robbie Taylor, director of photography Stephen Goldblatt and himself had to have lengthy conversations about all aspects of their scene.
Red, White & Royal Blue’s approach to sex and intimate moments is one of the elements that make it stand out. López also talked to Collider about adapting the “secret” ingredient from the Casey McQuiston novel that couldn’t be left out, as well as the iconic cake scene that opens the movie.
