Freida Pinto's dark, surreal and sexy photoshoot

“Freida Pinto versus the world,” says the punchline on the cover of the August 2011 issue of Interview magazine. The photoshoot is decidedly dark, surreal and yet has a subtle sensuality to it.

In some pictures Freida Pinto appears to have posed topless; the others make an overt nod to the macabre with their blood-red hue. It’s a photoshoot like no other and Freida poses confidently, like a diva coming to grips with her own demons.
