“I wanted to challenge politically the kissing scene, which traditionally either has the surprise kiss scene thanks to a rain shower for instance, or the obvious kiss scene thanks to mustard on the corner of the lips, for instance, and it is generally carefully scripted as ‘They kiss.’ Or ‘They passionately kiss.’ And then it’s on the actors’ shoulders. It seems to rely a lot on them because it’s their bodies and fluids and interaction, but it shouldn’t be. It’s fake. It’s not about finding the magic. Actors should always be part of the elaboration of an idea, especially with intimate scenes. So I wanted to craft a scene that would embody the sexiness of consent. People who are questioning the idea of asking for consent in France, they do exist. They are brave fighters for the culture of French gallantry who say that asking for consent would not be sexy, it will break the mood. Some of the French critics thought the film lacked flesh, precisely because to them eroticism is about conflict. […] At some point I came up with the idea of them having to unveil their mouths like they would undress themselves. So I put a scarf, justified by a strong wind, pressed on their lips and thinking you would see their heavy breathing through the moving cloth.”
imo even if there is a Lola/Elliot kiss there no guarantee that he
1. Initiates 
Or
2. Reciprocates
it may be a classic “boy shows me kindness and friendship, lemme just kiss him cuz I don’t know boundaries” moment
especially if he’s taking her under his wing and she starts misreading his motives. idk this just seems more likely than Elliot making out with a 16 year old when he’s mad in love with his man
I just sent the clip to my best friend and he called me crying because he wished he had this when he was figuring things out. Sorry not sorry but I don’t give a shit about anyone else’s opinion anymore. I really don’t.
