picked up by A24 for $12 million<\/a>. Both deal with relationships, intimacy, and the healing power of great sex. And both movies suggest the filmmaker and star is having a moment, hence the \u201cHot Olivia Summer\u201d tag. (Judges would have also accepted \u201cWilde Hot American Summer.\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\tIn our interview, Wilde discusses the origins of The Invite, assembling the star-studded cast (\u201cIt kind of feels like a Mad Libs,\u201d she admits, regarding the film\u2019s mix of acting styles), and the unusual rehearsal period that resulted in a good deal of the film being rewritten on the fly. Once the discussion pivoted to I Want Your Sex, she noted that both movies deal with the same types of subjects, only from vastly different angles \u2014 and that depicting sex onscreen still seems to make audiences a little uncomfortable.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s funny, because look at, like, Heated Rivalry,\u201d Wilde notes, bringing up the extremely steamy and extremely popular HBO Max series about two pro hockey players who hook up and fall in love. \u201cWe are in this age where people are much more open, at least in the streaming world. Maybe that\u2019s because you\u2019re at home? Maybe people are still afraid to take this out into public. Maybe there is a sense that this is something that, it\u2019s all fine as long as it\u2019s behind closed doors.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cBut actually,\u201d she continues, \u201cthe joy of sitting with people and sharing the shock and recognition of self is the fun of it. It is a bygone era, because you think of, like, Paul Mazursky\u2019s [1969 movie] Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice, and it was the perfect way to send up the world of enlightenment and therapy, and, like, EST, all these things. But it was also very relatable and bonding for people.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSo I think that the idea of sexuality is not something people are uncomfortable with,\u201d Wilde concludes, \u201cbut I think the idea of sharing those conversations in a public forum is something that we still feel a little bit like nervous about. But the nerves are what make it fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
