Scenes of a Sexual Nature


Scenes of a Sexual Nature is a 2006 British comedydrama film directed by Ed Blum. It stars Ewan McGregor, among others. The film is mostly based on a series of seven loosely related stories of couples on Hampstead Heath in north London, featuring an ensemble cast. The scenes appear out of sequence and jump back and forth between one story and another.

Iris Eileen Atkins and Eddie Benjamin Whitrow, an older couple, meet on a park bench, and start talking about Londons skyline and wondering about the couple to whom the bench is dedicated. They discover that they both come to the same bench on different days of the week. They are both widowed. In talking about their past, they also discover that, nearly fifty years before, they had met romantically at that spot and that is why they both kept coming back. They walk off to climb to higher ground, bemoaning the difficulty with climbing hills as they get older. They are bemused by the irony of meeting again, and have mixed feelings as they no longer represent an idealized partner in each others minds. They talk about seeing each other again, but Iris also decides to visit her former husbands grave, now appreciating more their time together.Anna Sophie Okonedo, a disturbed young woman with extreme mood swings, is crying and arguing with her boyfriend Ludo Nick Sidi, who eventually walks off. She is then approached by a young man, Noel Tom Hardy who, in a confused way, asks after her welfare and tries to make her laugh. She asks to be left alone, but he sits next to her and appears to meditate. His weird behaviour interests her and they strike up a conversation, but she becomes annoyed with him. She suddenly orders him to have sex with her right away but subsequently leaves him with his pants around his knees. Noel reappears in the film several times as he chances upon other characters. ........
