Pitt and Kerry Condon’s character, Kate, are given a brief kissing scene that cuts to the next morning, implying a night of passionate lovemaking, none of which the audience is ever witness to.

For example, during one lovemaking session, Isabel sees herself in a mirror and says that her face is red, “mouth like a violence.”

“I didn’t have a sex addiction. I had an affection addiction. I wanted women to love me. Sex was just a side effect to my lovemaking.”

They’re filled with rooms for sleeping, lovemaking, fighting; contain corridors that lead to areas of welcome and comfort; shelter spaces that hold secrets.

Though nothing graphic is ever shown, the lingering lovemaking scenes – particularly one between Tomas and Martin — led the Motion Picture Association to slap “Passages” with its highest rating.
