Alexander Skarsgård goes full-frontal in ‘kinky’ gay BDSM romance drama with Harry Potter’s Harry Melling.
Succession star Alexander Skarsgård is set to go full-frontal in his new gay BDSM drama with Harry Potter actor Harry Melling.
Pillion follows Infinity Pool star Skarsgård as the swaggering, leather-clad biker daddy Ray, who entices meek traffic warden and barbershop quartet fan Colin (Melling) into a dom/sub relationship in which the lines between kink and control become increasingly blurred.
While the premise of the film sounds risqué enough as it is, the film – which recently screened at Cannes Film Festival – reportedly features some “extremely revealing” gay scenes between Skarsgård and Melling.
After passing a note to Colin in a local pub, in which he instructs him to meet the following day for a blow job, the pair hook up in a dark alley, with scenes featuring the licking of rubber boots and the teasing of Ray’s Prince Albert.
According to Variety, the raunchy scene – which features Colin “choking on his prize” – is just the start of Pillion’s heart-poundingly horny offerings.
In Vanity Fair’s positive review, Pillion is described as “graphic” but “far from hardcore”, though there is plenty of titillating depictions of “gay sex and male anatomy”.
The film, which gets its name from the term referring to someone who rides a motorcycle as a passenger by clinging onto the rider, managed to score a not-to-be-sniffed-at seven minute ovation at Cannes.
It’s helmed by first-time feature film director Harry Lighton, who reportedly opened the screening at Cannes by declaring his hope that Pillion will “make you horny” as much it makes you laugh or think.
