When she kisses his hand hungrily one afternoon, it is a prelude to sex. But Lady Constance's attraction is ignited, and she masturbates thinking of Mellors. Director Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre's classy retelling has Corrin's Constance smiling mischievously at seeing Mellors naked, unlike the overheated 1981 Sylvia Kristal/Nicholas Clay version. Lady Constance soon falls for Mellors after spying him bathing one afternoon. Connie's sexual relations with her husband are fraught - especially after he returns from war and is paralyzed from the waist down. Lawrence's erotic novel also explores class differences and female sexual pleasure as Lady Constance Chatterley (Emma Corrin) has an adulterous affair with Oliver Mellors (Jack O'Connell), the gamekeeper on the country estate she shares with her husband, Lord Clifford Chatterley (Matthew Duckett). She is challenging viewers to accept what she looks like, and by extension, what viewers see and how they feel about themselves when completely naked. And Thompson has no reason to be ashamed about who she is, what she looks like or being nude. Her smile expresses all the pleasure and self-worth Nancy feels - and had never felt until she met Leo. While the nude scene is considered "daring" for Thompson - because of her age, her stardom and her body - that is precisely the film's point. However, the strongest emotional moment comes as the film closes and Nancy stands at the room's full-length mirror once again, fully naked this time, feeling powerful. While Leo does briefly appear fully nude, he is not objectified or idolized. That they have a "real" moment of connection makes viewers feel satisfied and gratified as well. The film addresses the power of sexual fulfillment as the characters bare their souls before their skin.
Both characters in this talky film express ideas about sex and body image - especially when Nancy touches Leo's shirtless chest. "Good Luck to You, Leo Grande" is about letting go of shame and judgment - about sex as well as bodies - which is why the film is more charming than prurient. "Blonde" was hardly sexy as Norma Jeane/Marilyn Monroe (Ana de Armas) was sexually abused by a number of men. But nudity can also make audiences uncomfortable. But sometimes it can feel exploitative.įull nudity can be used for comic effect - Simon Rex's bare-assed run in "Red Rocket," which opened late last year, proved that. There has always been a fascination at seeing performers unclothed. These two insightful points of view influence reactions to actors who dared to bare all on screen in 2022. The film made viewers feel for the actresses having to be vulnerable on screen. Many subjects in the film discuss having to "disassociate" from their bodies to "get through" having to perform a nude or sex scene.
However, even with contracts and nudity riders, women had to lobby for intimacy coordinators and protection against harassment. The documentary shows how nudity was often expected from actresses, and getting naked on screen was often done as a way of "paying their dues" as performers.
In contrast, " Body Parts," was a cogent, eye-opening analysis of how women's bodies are presented in Hollywood films and television. It also considered issues about body image. It celebrated being naked in a safe space where people weren't eroticized. The immersive, observational film, " Naked Gardens," set in a Florida naturist community, featured subjects of all ages and sizes unclothed almost all the time doing everything from cooking to using power tools. Two documentaries that played only on the festival circuit this year crystalized some of the attitudes about nudity on display in films in 2022. The following contains spoilers for the films examined that feature nude characters.
