In “Pleasure,” director Ninja Thyberg takes an unflinching look at the porn industry's male gaze with help from adult movie veterans.
AdvertisementWhen she began pre-production for the film in 2014, Thyberg decided to hold off on completing the script until she’d cast her lead “because I wanted to really involve her and [write] it in a way that worked with her as an actress,” she said. “I always knew that I didn’t want to decide exactly what the film was going to be and then just execute it but rather constantly merge and fine-tune it because it’s such a delicate subject.
“She was just so good,” the filmmaker said. “It was important for me to have someone with a lot of humor, but also [someone] who you really felt has agency and knows what she’s doing, because I didn’t want the audience to feel like she was someone they needed to rescue. She also had to be extremely talented, because it’s such a demanding part to do. So I met with her four times before I offered her the part even, though I knew I wanted her.
“We knew beforehand, of course, that that was going to be very difficult,” said Thyberg. “So we prepared a lot. Since she had been on board so early and was at that point so engaged with the story and really wanted to tell it, we were so synchronized in what we were doing. She knew what this film was, but it was very important that she always felt safe.
She also spent time living in a model house, where performers in the industry live together to cut costs. “It was a very long period of really getting to know the world from the inside,” she said. “After a while, [the line] was blurred between research and my life because I started to collaborate with people and they became my friends.
