Jean Reno filmed scenes for the film, but they were completely cut from the finished film
Scenario
A high-ranking CEO puts her career and family at risk when she begins an affair with her much younger intern. Appearances on The Graham Norton Show: Nicole Kidman/Cynthia Erivo/James Norton/Chris McClausland/Benson Boone (2024).
The need to be normal is self-contained or suppressed and hidden
This film is very different from other young girl romances this year. It focuses not on a romance with a young girl, but on the main character as a middle-aged man trying to explore his long-held sexual fantasies and struggling with whether to face reality.
Because he prefers alternative sexual desires, not young flesh
Moreover, in several other old-young romances, the woman is single (widowed or divorced). The goal is to avoid moral condemnation and please the female audience, so they are all presented in the form of romantic comedies.
Therefore, it is no longer a comedy or fantasy, but rather presented in the form of suspense thriller and explores self-awareness, not love
But this film addresses moral issues such as workplace deception and inappropriate behavior, and highlights the main character’s internal condemnation, shame, and desire to stop.
