Will Gluck Says No to Nudity in ‘One Night Only’ – And We Have Thoughts!
- What’s the deal with Will Gluck’s new movie, ‘One Night Only’?
- The wild premise: ‘The Purge’ for… intimacy.
- Why the director cut out ‘so much nudity’.
- Our take on sex scenes and storytelling.
We just heard something pretty interesting about director Will Gluck! He’s the guy behind the upcoming movie, “One Night Only.” And oh boy, does this film have a premise.
Think “The Purge.” But instead of chaos and crime, it’s about something else entirely. Yes. It’s for banging. For one night each year, premarital sex is totally, legally on. Sounds wild, right? A rom-com with a truly unique *vibe*.
But here’s the kicker. Gluck actually cut out “so much nudity” from the film. Really. He says people don’t like seeing too much sex on screen. He feels it “takes you out of the movie.” We’re not sure how to feel about that one.
It makes you wonder about the overall visual *aesthetic* he’s aiming for. Is it more about the funny situations and the concept? Or the actual steamy stuff? Like when Max Russo is feeling left out, we feel a bit left out of the full picture here!
People are asking a lot of questions. About the movie’s logic. Its loopholes. But Gluck just wants everyone to chill. Don’t overthink it, he says. Just enjoy the ride.
It reminds us of when Claes Bang played Himmler’s massage therapist in a thriller – totally unexpected visuals and choices! Gluck’s choice here is definitely unexpected for a movie with this premise.
Our Take
We get it. Nudity can be a distraction sometimes. It really can. But for a movie literally about a night of legal premarital sex? We expected… more. It’s a tricky balance to strike. You want to tell the story. You want the laughs. But you also want to be true to the premise. Maybe it’s about implying the fun, not just showing it. What do you think?
