Lady Chatterley’s Lover is a novel by the English author, Lady Chatterley’s Lover, first published in 1951. The film adaptation was directed by Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre and stars Emma Corrin as Connie and Matthew Duckett as Clifford.
Connie gradually drives Jack away and into the arms of Oliver Mellors. The love story between Connie and Oliver is moving, sensual, romantic. It starts with the body and later integrates the mind.
In Lawrence’s novel, Clermont-Tonnerre is a concern for the mind and body. Clifford values intellectualism and takes advantage of Connie as his caregiver, disregarding her bodily needs.
Connie is finally free from her role as Clifford’s caregiver and can explore the pleasures life has to offer. She walks in nature, holds a baby bird, hugs a baby to her chest, and lunch with a friend. And erotic pleasures with Oliver that will culminate in a love between both minds and bodies.
Clifford believes that all of life’s pleasures should be considered “nothing.” He argues that the point of living is to learn to accept the great nothingness of life. ..
Lady Chatterley’s Lover rejects the idea that intellectualism is exclusive and class-based. As the love story between Connie and Oliver progresses, Connie comes to see Clifford’s intellect as just as valid as any other form of love. The passion between Lady Chatterley and her lover is erotic, romantic, and compassionate; it transcends class barriers. Through their passion, the film becomes a touching love story–as much as a call to value equally the body and the mind. ..
