Kinky Sex, BDSM Alexander Skarsgard and Gimp Masks: ‘Pillion’ Seduces Cannes With 7-Minute Standing Ovation
Alexander Skarsgard and Harry Melling brought BDSM to Cannes with the premiere of Harry Lighton's "Pillion" in the Un Certain Regard section.
The film earned a hugely enthusiastic seven-minute standing ovation and, in perhaps a Cannes first, saw Skarsgard hug a man dressed in a gimp mask as the audience whooped and cheered. Marking Lighton’s feature directorial debut, “Pillion” follows “Colin (Melling), a weedy wallflower letting life pass him by,” its official synopsis reads. Ray uproots Colin from his dreary suburban life, introducing him to a community of kinky, queer bikers and taking all sorts of virginities along the way.
