Al Pacino, reflecting on his experiences with steamy scenes, acknowledged in his memoir that he is not a fan of filming graphic lovemaking, likening such scenes to borderline pornography. He emphasizes, 'I'm not usually one to perform graphic lovemaking scenes, and I don't think many other actors like to do them either.' His apprehension highlights the discomfort many actors may feel when tasked with performing intimate scenes.
In discussing the notable sex scene from "Sea of Love," Pacino mentioned the specific choreography involved, stating, 'Though I had played romantic leads in other movies, that movie became renowned for a long, slow sex scene where Ellen Barkin holds me against a wall and gives me a bit of a pat-down before our two characters start going at it.' This acknowledges the unique nature of that scene in his career.
Pacino also noted how "Sea of Love" came at a crucial time in his career after a four-year hiatus. He explained, 'The movie came along at a time when I was out of commission for four years... It pushed me from having no money to being back in the chips.' This film represented a significant comeback for the actor.
Despite the challenges faced while filming, Pacino credited the director, Harold Becker, for his creative direction: 'In my book, I gave the director, Harold Becker, credit for brilliantly choreographing the scene.' This indicates Pacino's respect for the craftsmanship involved in cinematic storytelling.
