Jessica Chastain's condition to get daring in 'Secret of a Marriage'
The series has broken many canons about relationships, communication and in Hollywood
'Secrets of a marriage' has been one of the great launches of the HBO platform in the last month. The series starring Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac is about how a couple that has been married for a decade see their relationship in decline and that if they continue like this they will end up leaving him. To solve it, both radically change their routine.
It is based on the Ingmar Bergman film from the 70s, and it has succeeded because many people feel identified, because the Swedish director narrates the end of a marriage. In addition, the two actors have a lot of complicity and that helps to transmit better.
'Secrets of a marriage' has broken many canons and stereotypes. Oscar Isaac plays a philosophy professor who dedicates himself to taking care of the home and his daughter, separating his career from him. Chastain for her part is a prestigious executive who dedicates herself body and soul to her work. Although it was not something that the series expressed in her script, a condition that the actress demanded to do her n**-**e has also broken with more canons.
And it is that Chastain asked that every time a n**-**e scene of her came out her husband had to appear in the fiction Oscar Isaac. And so the co-star would go out with her and share that load. She said at first, 'I'm comfortable with all the nudity, but whatever part of my body you show, you're going to have to show the same thing with Oscar,'" she said in an interview on The View.
It is an example of the fight against machismo in the industry where women are three times more likely to star in a n**-**e than a man. Isaac stars in a l n**-**e that has made an impact, since his private parts can be seen openly, something uncommon in men and thus this taboo can be broken. It is also anecdotal because the actor himself did not know if in the end his whole body would come out in this scene. It was his friends who told him about it when watching the series.
