Has anyone watched Freida Pinto's new movie Trishna? It was released in the UK and other European countries already but isn't released in the US 'til July 13th. She's supposed to have her first real nude scene in it. Excerpt from her Esquire interview:
"“It was hard,” she says, “but it was a small crew, and they were good at not making their presence felt. They didn’t go, ‘Quick! She’s nearly naked! Get your camera out!’” She cracks up again. “Seriously, if I was ever in the position that Trishna was in, I’d probably kill him. And not at the end of the movie, but waaaay before that.”
There’s no guarantee the film will even see release in India, where it was made. The Indian censors are a prickly bunch. But Pinto isn’t fussed. “Even if it doesn’t, the people who want to see it will find a way to get an uncensored copy,” she says. In fact, she’s quite happy to be even more daring in her next movies. She’s OK with appearing topless, for instance, or even fully nude, if the part demanded it.
That's great news. Freida is gorgeous, and any guy who like Latins babes has got to be impressed with her. She looked fabtastic in Miral, no nudity in that one, but she was stunning. Nice to know she's cool with nudity and maybe we might get some great stuff from her in the future.

“In Shame, Carey Mulligan has this full-frontal scene, and the way it was shot, and the context, was completely fine,” she says. “It wasn’t just there to titillate. But in Immortals, there was a nude scene in it, and it was purely for people to get a hard-on in the theatre. And people still think my body double was actually me. If you’re just doing a nude scene in order for everyone to, like, wank off or something, then that’s not my thing at all.”"
That's a great quote and I like her attitude, but it almost sounds like a desperate attempt to get some recognition for her nudity in that film. If you read any movie reviews or on line comments all anyone talked about was Fassbinder's full frontal and her nudity was totally ignored (other than some clips on porn forums). Kind of a sad commentary on today's media and society when no one even cares anymore about naked women and cock shots seem to be the only thing that matters (see American Reunion for further evidence).--- A distrubing trend, but it can't last forever. The pendulum will swing.
