you don't need intimacy coordinators, as you shouldnt need the animal board for movies. Because any sane and civil person knows how to treat animals or how to have sex scenes. Yorgos is actually know for mistreating actors and crew members. Anyways, I was past year on the Director's guild of America awards and there was a intimacy coordinator. A woman that was dressed to impress but in a very sexy way. And she was so unpolite and showy; kept standing in front of me with no distance limits, having her body pushing me back and she didn't even feel it; all because she wanted to be noticed by the important people and give them her business card.

If anyone hasn't Dogtooth and Alps especially but all of Lanthimos' Greek language films are must watch. I discovered him with Dogtooth all those years ago and following his career has been kind of mindblowing. Seems to never misstep and ensures all his films have that unique 'clinical' (as Aster rightly says) tone.
