On July 25 introduced by Anna Marah Jansen
Good Luck to You, Leo Grande
Nancy Stokes, a middle-aged ex-teacher, has had only one bed partner in her life: her husband, who died two years earlier. Their sex life was boring, predictable and not very exciting; for instance, she has never experienced an orgasm. So she has a lot of catching up to do, which is why she hires young sex worker Leo Grande. She has even made a list of everything she wants to experience, including oral sex, daring positions and, of course, a real orgasm. Finally, she wants to feel 16 once more. Naturally, their first meeting is rather awkward, but Leo does his best to put her at ease. And that succeeds, a world opens up for Nancy...
Two-time Oscar winner Emma Thompson, who convincingly portrays Nancy Stokes, later said she found it quite a challenge to still have to take off her clothes at 62. But she did it anyway in this warm and sparkling sex comedy. Her counterpart Daryl McCormack also convinces as Leo Grande.
