And once we had learnt those moves, literally like the back of our hand, we could make it emotional and sensual or whatever it was that kind of needed to come out of that. "There were no surprises, it was like a dance, and it was very, very technical. Ronan explained that she and Winslet sat in rehearsals with Lee with their notebooks and pens, writing down each step and movement. "We were really able to make it an incredibly personal experience." Because of that, it allowed us to be even more vulnerable and more confident in what we were doing and what we were trying to say with these scenes. "I have never been given so much control before.

The sex scene in Ammonite, out in cinemas today, is rarely done. Perhaps that's why the sight of Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan's dripping bodies pressed against each other, moving with ferocity and urgency as they seek to satiate their sexual desires as they feel, perhaps for the first time ever, they weren't alone, is such a stunning sight. Passionate, vigorous and sweaty love scenes between two women are not often seen in movies, especially not in mainstream award-contenders between two A-list actors.

But, Winslet says, there was a lot of information about Anning “not only in the history books, but a huge amount historically. Anning discovered the first ichthyosaur skeleton, and she discovered that coprolites were fossilized feces.
