Mothering Sunday. The nubile and unconventional housemaid in question is the beautiful Jane Fairchild, gorgeously played by the Australian actress Odessa Young. Mothering Sunday is a French take on how they view the British upper classes and director Eva Husson beautifully uses the young lovers in all their nudity to expose the decay of the rigid class lines that used to keep the British class system intact, which began unravelling spectacularly between the two World Wars.
Without the moral depth or psychological complexity of Atonement , Mothering Sunday is a stunning and sensual period film about forbidden love and the journey one young woman takes to becoming a writing, her courage to change her accepted place in society and evolve from being a housemaid to eventually becoming a famous writer.
Mothering Sunday is a languid British period film which is drawn out in parts but equally provocative. After being entangled with the Bond franchise and directing two films specifically Skyfall and Spectre , director Sam Mendes returns to a more intimate yet visually astounding portrait of war in the spectacular film Mendes does something better.
Set in less than a twenty-four hour period on the 6 th April , this incredible film follows the terrorizing journey of two young British soldiers who are tasked with delivering a message deep in enemy territory that will prevent 1, men from walking into a deadly trapped set by the Germans in Northern France.
What makes so utterly riveting is not so much the acting as the visual interpretation of this harrowing journey beautifully photographed by Oscar winning cinematographer Roger Deakins Blade Runner: with a haunting original score by Thomas Newman.
