Actress Lily-Rose Depp defended the controversial HBO Max series in a new interview with Vogue Australia. She talked about the content of the so-called “torture porn” series, which some viewers consider extremely obscene.
“We knew we were doing something provocative and we didn’t shy away from it,” Depp said. I’ve never been interested in creating anything puritanical. It’s okay that this show isn’t for everyone. To be honest, I’ve never felt so respected and safe on set.”
The HBO Max mini-series Idol had its world premiere at the 76th Cannes Film Festival. At the center of the story is a young pop star experiencing a career crisis. For this, the girl meets a mysterious hero named Tedros (played by the musician The Weeknd), who promises to change her whole life by using violent methods.
With a provocative plot and obscene scenes, the project received devastating criticism from both the audience and the professional film community. The writers decided to reduce the series from 6 to 5 episodes.
