“I wanted to make a horny film.” At a time when truly hot sex scenes are endangered entities in cinema, director Ira Sachs delivers two all-time great ones in 'Passages.' He talked to beastobsessed about rejecting the movie's NC-17 rating and more.

The exchange is searing humanity by way of Looney Tunes. As an audience member you’re so shocked, there’s no natural, normal reaction—so you laugh.Keep the Lights Onin an apparently renegade fashion: the characters having sex and who are in relationships are queer.
To the laughing aspect of this, I remember when Tomas says, “I had sex with a woman. Can I please talk with you about it?” It was just so blunt that I think the only thing to do was to laugh. I remember you saying at the Sundance premiere that this movie was born out of your experience in the pandemic. In what way?
Franz and Ben are two guys who are comfortable with their bodies, and who also embrace sex as part of their lives in a way that they think is important. I just was on a panel with the actor who was the star of. It was great to listen to him talk about the sex in that film, because it was a story that I couldn’t have imagined. Not that it was an extraordinary story. It was just particular to his experience of what it was like to kiss this other guy and what he felt.
Then, of course, when the MPAA makes a decision that the film should be rated NC-17, the conversation becomes very much about the sex. I imagine it has to be an interesting experience to be a person who just made a film about relationships and intimacy, which now has this rating controversy accompanying it. Was there ever a feeling like you were being branded a sex fiend, or something like that?
