Anne Hathaway Love & Other Drugs Sex Scenes: The Red Sheets (2010)

If the bedroom scene is the flirt, the loft is the relationship. Red sheets, grey Pittsburgh light, rain on the glass and two people who keep forgetting they agreed not to fall in love.

Love & Other Drugs (2010): a long, lazy morning on Maggie’s red sheets turns into round two, then a sleepy heart-to-heart (105s)
Love & Other Drugs (2010): rain streaks the window, then Maggie and Jamie on the red bed, close up and breathless (34s)

What happens in Maggie’s loft

Maggie lives in a warehouse loft full of clutter, art supplies and one big bed made up in red, which is where the movie does its best acting. The first clip starts wide, the whole messy apartment with two bodies in the middle of it, then moves in close: her hair everywhere, his grin, a long exhale and a lot of laughing in between the actual business.

The second is shorter and moodier. The camera finds them through a rain-streaked window, then cuts inside for close-ups of her face that say more than any line in the script. By now the “just sex” deal from their first night on her floor is clearly a lie both of them are telling out of politeness.

Gyllenhaal said that when he first saw the film he had “never seen Anne Hathaway look so beautiful,” he told Cosmopolitan, and called her “incredibly shy but” also “an incredibly sexy person.” Fair on both counts. These scenes are honest about what intimacy looks like between two funny people, which is why they rank so high on the full list of Anne Hathaway nude scenes.
