.k_marie_smith reviews ThePursuitOfLove on Amazon Prime, which places two women's lives in contrast: one ready to burn from boredom and the other an active flame of reckless abandon.
The Pursuit of Loveof the married Dominic West embracing his much younger co-star Lily James in Rome lit up British tabloids, leading to one of the most bizarre celebrity PR maneuvers in recent memory: West returning to his Irish estate and longtime wife, Catherine FitzGerald, then issuing a joint response on his affair to the press by. The message, which they left nestled into the greenery of their ornate garden, was simple: “Our marriage is strong. We are still very much together. Thank you.
In many ways, the external drama around the miniseries mimics the drama within it. Based on the novel by Nancy Mitford and adapted and directed by Emily Mortimer, Amazon’scenters on two cousins, Linda Radlett and Fanny who both try to find self-fulfillment in their lives through relationships with men—but take wildly different approaches on achieving this goal. Linda never receives an education under her father’s sexist mandates and abusive behavior.
The ways in which both Linda and Fanny later implode take on different tacts. Linda flits from marriage to marriage, indulging in affairs at her whimsy. Her life appears to pulse with glamour, scandal, and self indulgence to outside observers. Meanwhile, Fanny’s safer and more thoughtful approach to love appears to result in more stability; a quiet marriage to an Oxford academic who cares for her—but only at first blush. Fanny’s resentments rise counter to Linda’s exploits.
There’s a real sadness that permeates both characters; a real anger at the constriction of pre-war British gender roles both Linda and Fanny must play. The show undercuts this emotional overcast with a bit of irreverent editing and kitschy elements to lighten the fare, but the somberness is needed. At one point, Linda wails about her place as a woman, feeling like “a bird with clipped wings.
As the three hourlong episodes unfold and then conclude, many of the men who dance in and out of these women’s lives could be interchangeable with a myriad of other characters. Like the letter from Dominic West and his wife in real life, both Linda and Fanny’s relationships become most interesting through what both of them try to convince themselves of: each other, their lovers, and the rest of the world regarding their happiness and relative stability.
