No Filter: These Actors Were Really Getting Intimate On Film!

All About Anna (2005)

The Danish filmAll About Anna, starring Mark Stevens and Gry Bay, is billed as a film about intimate relationships and that meant filming quite a few erotic scenes. In response to public outcry over unsimulated intercourse and masturbation, director Jessica Nilsson defended the film by saying “without the sex scenes, the film’s drama would fall apart.”

The film was released on DVD in 2005 but didn’t have its theatrical premiere until 2007, when it was shown as part of a series calledCinematic Sexualities in the 21st Century. All About Anna was critically acclaimed and won several awards worldwide.
