Monica Bellucci told about the taboo on erotic subjects in the profession

Professional cooperation in creating a movie masterpiece is always based on invisible fluids, spiritual intimacy and understanding of each other from a half-word. This is how they describe the filming process of the drama "On the Milky Way" by Monica Bellucci and Emir Kusturica. The unbridled passion for cinema, the documentary realism of the Emir and the exquisite beauty of the Italian actress Monica Bellucci, attracted the viewer to the history of love, sacrifice and the search for life amid the incessant chaos of the civil war. The picture is marked as the most anticipated film premiere in the European box office for 2017, but the details of the shootings appear only now.

Fateful role for the director and actress

Earlier, we reported that Emir Kusturica, at a Russian premiere of the drama, announced the completion of his acting career and full concentration on the direction and musical career (Emir is a musician in the folk band The No Smoking Orchestra).

In one of his interviews he confessed that the meeting with Monica Bellucci was not accidental, he was looking for a meeting with her and only saw her in the main role of her next film. The fateful meeting was unexpected enough that the genius director was confused and, according to the actress, was very laconic than discouraged the Italian.

Monica Bellucci admitted that she would miss the filming process and the sensitivity with which Emir approached the role of the main character.

The work on the painting lasted for several years, throughout this time I gave the film a few summer months and with great pleasure I spent time in Serbia. The Emir's hospitality and his ability to work on the set was amazing. However, in the process of work it turned out that my heroine was supposed to speak Serbian, that at first I was very frightened. This crazy idea came to Emir during the filming, he always gushes with ideas and can drastically revise the previously planned stories, well, it was a challenge that I coped with!

Taboo on erotic subjects

The actress shared that, having initially learned about the plot of the drama, she rigidly marked the boundaries of the filming of erotic stories.

I realized that the love story during the civil war is associated with a strong heat of passion, including sexual, but was not ready for them. Repeatedly I participated in erotic photography, and in the film "Irreversibility" there is a nine-minute story with the rape of my heroine, but there are taboos that I do not want to transgress in the acting profession - these are scenes of sex. Emir approached very delicately to the topic of intimacy and emphasized the views, words, the moment's significance gave more thoughts to grasp the feelings of heroes than just a sexual act. I confess that he was an ideal partner (Emir Kusturica played the protagonist) and as a director he provided for the smallest trifles, including how to present my body more advantageously in the frame, without going beyond the limits of what is allowed.
