Director Eva Husson and actors Odessa Young and Josh O'Connor discuss the challenges of nude scenes and frank sexuality while working inside a COVID-19 bubble.
There was a particular scene in “Mothering Sunday,” adapted from Graham Swift’s 2016 novel by screenwriter Alice Birch, that convinced director Eva Husson she had to do the film. After a tryst with her secret lover, Paul Sheringham , Jane Fairchild , a housemaid from a nearby manor, finds herself alone, wandering through the empty rooms of Paul’s home. It’s a sunny Mother’s Day, and everyone is out, waiting for Paul to join them, as Jane lingers.
“We talked a lot about our characters and the relationship between the two of them,” O’Connor remembers. “Although I suppose, thinking back, what’s so strange about that relationship between Jane and Paul is that, in many ways, it wasn’t an emotionally deep relationship. Or it didn’t seem that way to us. There was obviously love there, but I think there was so much trauma and tragedy from Paul — and from Jane being an orphan — that there was a distance.
