Thanks to her latest role, Emma Thompson is fast becoming the poster woman for good sex - no matter what your age. Playing a widow who hires a sex worker to bring some excitement into her life, Thompson is relishing breaking down taboos, but admits it was hard confronting her own judgements about herself. Here, she tells WHO about the special way she and Australian director Sophie Hyde approached those nude scenes, and what she loves about her character, Nancy.
Good Luck to You, Leo Grande is described as a comedy-drama. How would you describe it?
It's a film about intimacy. Nancy is someone who has lived a very restricted life in order to fit in with all the requirements of following the rules and being acceptable in British society. It's a film that explores the fact that women do have sexual appetites and how they can often find that, by following the rules and being restricted, they are not served emotionally, physically or in their sense of themselves as people. This is a story of how this woman comes from being repressed to suddenly choosing to unleash herself and to love herself.
What do you admire about Nancy as a character?
