Emma Thompson takes on a brave new role in 'Good Luck to You, Leo Grande.'
She plays a widow looking for the kind of sexual adventures she never got in her marriage. So she turns to an expert for help and hires a sex worker to essentially show her how it's all done -- perhaps spark a sexual awakening.Thompson found the script, which required her and her co-star to take it all off,"extraordinary."
"It was absolutely clear right from the first moment of reading it that it had to be made and that it just was such a beautiful, pleasurable, delicious script," said Thompson."I just felt it was a great privilege to have been sent it.""Certainly, what I took away was that intimacy is not really separate from any other experience in our life, and it's very much intertwined with who we are and our sense of self," said McCormack.
