I don't think he raped her. She kinda initiated the sex. Than again Pollack wasn't gonna direct a film with two of Hollywood's sexiest stars in 1975 and not have em bed down together.
Think of the ticket sales. -

I won't lie. This is one of my all time favorites, but I fast forward to the next chapter when the sex scene is coming up. As I have gotten older I find myself uncomfortable with that part of the movie. Times change.

The character Dunaway plays, does not like to be close to people. In her way, she did initiate the sex. Turner is observant enough to be able to read her. Also, by this point in the film, the principals have reached a level of trust . Turner would not have raped her.
Finally, this is entirely gratuitous. In reality, with a man fearing for his life, sex likely would never have come up. At this time in filmdom, two attractive actors were expected to "get it on" for box office sales. It is, after all, a movie. -

The love scene blows. It's from her point of view, while the whole of the film is from his point of view. Why? Because Redford, a competitive macho movie star, refused to appear vulnerable.
This is one of my favorite films. But that scene as shot is beep You barely see his face except in profile. I know, I know - it's about her opening up to him, buffered by intercut ting her lonely photography. Yet, it's an erroneous move by the filmmakers. -

Whats there to think about? Reford is a method actor. Or was one(rip) So he consented to actual penetration for the scene you are referencing.
