Finally, a sex scene filmed in the right place: behind a high street bin

I went to watch Pillion the other day and, instead of being revolted or turned on by the BDSM scenes, I felt European pride.

Babygirl, a movie that explored similar themes and came out last year, gave them the full Hollywood treatment. Most of the action took place in plush New York offices, impossibly grand homes or ragingly cool clubs.

The first sex scene in BritishIrish Pillion happens behind some high street bins. Afterwards, most of the intense leather-clad story revolves around a house in Chislehurst, near the M25. It made the plot feel more real and more human, which is what you want when trying to discuss attraction, desire and the power dynamics that come from any relationship, kink-laden or not.
