Rachel Weisz has confessed that the handheld camera action favoured by her latest director made her feel "physically nauseous".

The actress was reunited with filmmaker Fernando Meirelles - who directed her to Oscar glory in The Constant Gardener in 2006 - on new movie 360, which also stars Jude Law.

She said: "Fernando uses an awful lot of handheld camera, which makes me sick - I mean physically nauseous.

"It feels like being part of a fly-on-the-wall documentary, as there's a little camera somewhere and a little light; it's very low-tech."

But Rachel said she loved working with Fernando on the film, a tale about romance and sex in the 21st century, which depicts a kaleidoscope of interconnected relationships.

The 42-year-old said: "He doesn't care if you improvise lines, you can say whatever you like. It's free, spontaneous and seemingly very unstructured."

Rachel, who plays an unfaithful wife in the film, went on: "I love the script and the idea that it's a true ensemble, everyone does their little story and then they pass the baton on to the next actor that comes along."

:: 360 is released in cinemas on Friday, August 10.
