Rie Rasmussen, director and leading actress, said her sex scenes were unsimulated."This is for real. I wanted to see it for real, and I wanted it to be from a female’s point of view. Yeah, he is going down on her. It’s in one take. There’s no fu*king cutting in and out and making it all romantic and rosey and shit. This is one take, and that’s how it is. It’s clumsy, it’s sexy, it’s hardcore, and he is going down on her," she said. [2]

"Love Is Blindness" is a song by rock band U2, and the twelfth and final track on their 1991 album Achtung Baby. The song was written on piano by lead singer Bono during the recording sessions for U2's 1988 album Rattle and Hum. Originally intending to give the song to singer Nina Simone, the band decided to keep it for Achtung Baby after playing it together. Thematically, the song describes a failing romance, mixing personal themes with imagery of metaphorical acts of terrorism. During the recording sessions for Achtung Baby, guitarist the Edge separated from his wife, Aislinn O'Sullivan. The separation had a major effect on the development of the song; Bono said that the ending guitar solo was a cathartic experience for the Edge, as he snapped several guitar strings during the recording.
