The milk is, of course, an archetype.

Weve seen it in other movies, she explained toIndieWire.

It is a great symbol of animalistic sides of ourselves.

I felt really good about myself for one night in my life.

All my colleagues were like, No, were going to bed.

I was all alone.

There was this young Belgian actor I cant say who it is but he was famous.

I knew of him.

Id never spoken to him.

He was at least 15 years younger than I, and he ordered me a glass of milk.

It did make me a little nauseated, to be honest with you, because it was cow milk.

It was back in the day.

Although the actor unfortunately never said good girl to me, Reijn quipped, I wish he did.

He just walked out.

I didnt have sex with him or anything.

There wasnt even touching, she explained.

That is what fascinates me about sex.

To me, real, shocking sex is often not at all two bodies banging into each other.

To me, real, shocking sex is about what is in the mind.
