In America, the word 'adult' has come to indicate fairly strong pornography, whereas elsewhere in the world it means mature and grownup themes. I like to think I'm helping to reclaim the notion of being an adult. In both Asylum (2005) and Young Adam (2003), sexuality is not really romantic - it comes from an inner place or a need that has to be fulfilled. It's not motivated by romance or the traditional things. By Hollywood standards, that may be shocking, as if something used to sell beer can actually be a transformative experience. Show less «
