The very first day of shooting, when Jeremy Irons and Juliette Binoche barely knew each other, called for a scene in which Anna leaves Stephen's son in a Paris hotel and joins Stephen in the cobblestone street below. Their meeting culminates in a doorway tryst, Binoche, naked underneath her coat, wrapping herself around Irons' tall, gaunt body. "That first day was one big argument," recalls Binoche. "I wasn't prepared to do that love scene." "Juliette was wary in those early days and trying to protect herself," says Irons. "We were men, wanting to see her body." To Binoche, who first made a splash in sensual L'insostenibile leggerezza dell'essere (1988), it seemed that the men only wanted to see, not hear, her.
