In a conversation with Digital Trends, director Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre talks about love, sex, and updating a classic with her film LadyChatterleysLover.
Nearly a century ago, a book was published that scandalized almost the entire world. Lady Chatterley’s Lover is D.H. Lawrence’s classic tale of an unhappily married woman having an affair with her gardener. Banned in almost every country, it gained notoriety for its explicit sex scenes and radical notions of free love.
Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre: I received the script [from David Magee] in April of 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic was just beginning and everyone was trapped in their homes. I had read the book before, but there was something very fresh about David’s script. I liked the emphasis on the resilience of the human connection and the importance of touch and sensuality.
I saw the French version from 200,6 and I really liked it, but it was very intellectual and less sensual, I would say, than the book. The director, Pascale Ferran, focused more on the class and the intellectual relationship between Connie, Mellors, and Clifford [Connie’s husband]. Well, I wanted to do something modern and relevant with this adaptation and make it feel like it’s 2022 even though it is a period piece. You could just get it completely wrong if it’s not the right person.
We did a lot of rehearsal. We had an intimacy coordinator on set, who was our guide through all the intimate scenes in the film. The most challenging thing was to understand the emotions behind Connie’s actions and what kind of story we wanted to tell. We didn’t want to do something gratuitous or redundant or boring, which is how most sex scenes are like.
