Juliette Binoche discusses the role of intimacy coordinators in film, arguing that having one is not automatically sufficient to ensure authentic performances. In interviews tied to the release of her documentary, “In-I In Motion,” the actor says she has been asked about her views on the relatively new industry practice. Binoche acknowledges that intimacy coordinators may help set boundaries and structure scenes involving nudity or physical closeness, but she contends that good results depend on more than a coordinator being present. She suggests that actors still need to reach a level of honesty in performance, which may require moving beyond a personal “comfort zone” in order to achieve what she describes as “truthful” work. The outlet reporting her comments also frames her view as a warning that intimacy coordinators alone could contribute to “bad situations” if performers treat such scenes as purely staged or performed without genuine emotional engagement. Across the coverage, Binoche’s remarks focus on her broader concern with how scenes are approached and acted, particularly for difficult nude material, rather than on denying the value of coordination.
