Natalie Dormer defends raunchy film scene
- 6 years ago
Natalie Dormer has hit back at critics of 'In Darkness' over its "gratuitous nudity".
The 36-year-old star has co-written and stars in the new thriller opposite Ed Skrein, and she has responded to reviewers who suggested the sexual nature of the film was "sadistic" and unnecessary.
Firing back in an interview with The Guardian, she said: "There has to be sexuality in the power play of a thriller. We have all got bodies, after all.
"In this film the sex scene, which for me was a lovemaking scene, is a metaphor for the way my character connects with the part played by Ed Skrein."
The pair's characters come together after Dormer's character Sofia overhears the murder of her upstairs neighbour, and she and Marc begin investigating the crime.
