New York, December 24: Sam Mendes has revealed that directing wife Kate Winslet in steamy scenes with Leonardo DiCaprio for the movie `Revolutionary Road' had been "a profoundly weird experience".
The English filmmaker said that the entire experience had been so strange that he could not bear to watch it.
Mendes, instead, monitored the action on a video screen in another room, reports the New York Post.
The 43-year-old told Britain''s Observer that he would scream, "Leo, don''t bang her head so hard against the kitchen cabinets!" and "Could you not do it for so long this time?"
And when the `Titanic' actor asked him for specific details, Mendes replied, "About 45 seconds."
