'Lady Chatterley’s Lover' is Inclusive of all Gender Perspectives
The ad for Lady Chatterley’s Lover (2022) on Netflix first captured my attention with Emma Corrin’s striking features. It came as no surprise that, like the other Emma – Emma D’Arcy, Corrin are part of the growing cohort of otherworldly-looking, wildly talented British actors who use they/them pronouns. The French-born director Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre’s strategic choice to entrust the interpretation of a conventional, feminine character to a non-binary actor pays off: Corrin’s Lady Chatterley is awkward, edgy, and uninhibited at the same time.
She brings modernity to a classic tale of an upper-class woman falling in love beneath her station, by taking Connie Chatterley out of Stepford Wives’ town and into the social non-conformist territory. Sometimes, with mixed results: the word “bullying” that Connie employs to summarize her lord husband’s exploitation of mine workers, belongs more in the vocabulary of a social justice warrior than in an early 20th-century revolutionary talk. The film spells it clearly that Connie’s background is Bohemian. Which supposedly gives her the right to look down on her husband’s land-based wealth, while her own three-month vacay in Venice comes guilt-free, paid by her father’s art endeavors.
