Barbie director Greta Gerwig makes a strong case for why intimacy coordinators on set are an obvious choice.Gerwig sat down for an interview with Vanity Fair on Nov. 13. As the topic moved to paradigm shifts in the industry, such as the #MeToo movement, COVID and the strikes, Gerwig discussed things that should be common sense but that the industry, and even herself, are only just coming to realize. “There’s plenty of stuff that happened in my life, when I look back at it. I’m like, wait a minute. That was not okay. Just a million little things. It almost didn’t register. Which might be generational, you know? I think one substantive change is intimacy coordinators. They make perfect sense.”Gerwig makes a poignant analogy in the case of fight scenes. “It’s like a fight choreographer. Nobody would ever say, ‘Just take these swords and see what happens, just duel a little and see where the spirit takes you.’ That’s insane.” Opinions are split regarding the importance of intimacy coordinators. As Gerwig also says in the interview, these lines are often drawn generationally. Intimacy coordinators are specially trained staff present to monitor, coach and ensure safe practice during nude and intimate scenes. Renowned actor Michael Caine recently questioned the practice in an interview with the Daily Mail. “Really? Seriously? What are they? We never had that in my day,” Caine said. “Thank God I’m 90 and don’t play lovers anymore is all I can say. In my day you just did the love scene and got on with it without anyone interfering. It’s all changed.” Caine called the rise in perceived political correctness “dull” but said he enjoys “learning from friends who are younger.”Emma Stone Addresses Poor Things’ Controversial Sex Scenes
