Mary is always beautiful but this scene was monstrous and lacked the sensitivity it desperately needed. Pamuk comes across as a predator.
He WAS a predator :/ I mean he didn’t take no for an answer downstairs earlier in the night and didn’t take no for an answer when she said she would scream. Pamuk was a predator.
I agree, and that is what I’d originally typed, but after reflecting on it I’m not certain the writers intended for him to be the predator that I saw him as. Or rather, that I continue to see him as. Coercive sex is rape, period, and the atmosphere of the scene didn’t properly reflect the gravity of what was happening.
Agreed! Julianne didn’t treat it like the rape that it was and it KILLS me that he didn’t.
Oh god…I COMPLETELY AGREE with both of you. This scene still breaks my heart.
Although it took me a while to realize who you were talking about when you said “Julianne”…
