Winslet has talked about the sex scenes in Ammonite, explaining why it was important that she and Ronan took control of the choreography of them.

“Saoirse and I choreographed the scene ourselves,” Winslet told The Hollywood Reporter, referring to the most explicit scene. “It’s definitely not like eating a sandwich. I just think Saoirse and I, we just felt really safe.

“Francis [Lee] was naturally very nervous. And I just said to him, ‘Listen, let us work it out.’ And we did. ‘We’ll start here. We’ll do this with the kissing, boobs, you go down there, then you do this, then you climb up here.’

“I mean, we marked out the beats of the scene so that we were anchored in something that just supported the narrative. I felt the proudest I’ve ever felt doing a love scene on Ammonite. And I felt by far the least self-conscious.”
