Description:
Touch Me Not is a 2018 Romanian-German experimental documentary by Adina Pintilie. Through intimate encounters, performative exercises, and candid conversations with participants—including a woman negotiating fear of intimacy—the film probes how touch, consent, and vulnerability shape desire and identity. Blending documentary realism with staged, experiential scenes, it challenges conventional storytelling and won the Berlin Golden Bear in 2018.
