Regularly compared to Michael Winterbottom’s 9 Songs due to its depiction of sex, Ashley Horner’s second feature about a couple in all consuming love, brilliantlove has caused a stir with critics and viewers alike. Ashley joins us to discuss his reasons for bringing such a frank portrayal to screen and the importance of the ‘why’ when working with actors.
The film’s not been made as an exploitative piece of cinema. It’s not a soft core porn film masquerading as art […] I never made a film that’s about provocation, I made a film about love showing all the facets of a love affair.
