In terms of depicting sexual politics in a graphic manner. Okay, I'm guessing in America specifically and how movies like Red Sparrow (2018) don't really get made anymore. Unless it goes to a streaming service. I really liked Red Sparrow but I'm trying to think of a major movie besides the Fifty Shades series that covered similar territory in the states in recent years.

“It was already a different world from the moment we decided to make ‘Red Sparrow’ to when ‘Red Sparrow’ came out. I mean, for many reasons. One in terms of what people were going to the theaters to see, but also in terms of sexual politics. So it was a very different world that movie was released into.
I certainly would not make that movie now or expect anybody to allow me to make it now at a studio for a theatrical release. I do believe that you could get a movie like that made at Netflix or Apple or maybe HBO or HBO Max or one of the other streamers. Not Disney+, clearly. But I feel like you can make that movie.
I just don’t think any studio is doing it. I don’t think Fox is doing it. I don’t think Warner Brothers is doing it. I feel like they’re all so kind of desperate for IP-driven movies because they’re so afraid of what people are actually going to see that they’re just not doing it. And that’s the great thing about streaming is that you can do all kinds of stories.”
