Was Anne Heche’s casting a troll?

[deleted]

What about her orange nail polish and general attitude?
She was there as an obvious lesbian troll by a director who likes to push the boundary of homoeroticism.
I appreciate that artistic choice, but yeah, as a straight woman she looks quite repulsive to a straight man.

Still, who said she needed to be attractive in this?

She’s objectively attractive. Her face had more neoteny than most women
