It added to the intensity of the scene and he found it difficult to cut it down to mere minutes as he shot hours of footage of that scene. He said,
“We carefully structured the shoot so that the bathroom scene was the first time they really touched in the film and really touched when we were shooting. It was this release and this feeling. What happens in the film was really happening on set.”
“I have hours of footage, essentially of them touching each other’s faces and hands and everything like that. It was kind of impossible to cut it down into a couple of minutes.”
