Editorial Review:
The most frankly sensual movie in memory, (Los Angeles Times) Pascale Ferran s intelligent, deeply moving, and exquisitely photographed Lady
Chatterley brings D.H. Lawrence s most celebrated and notorious literary work to the screen in a way that feels bracingly fresh, vital and modern
(New York Times). Robbed of intimacy by her blueblood husband s war injuries, Constance Chatterley (Marina Hands The Barbarian Invasions) longs for the emotional fulfillment and physical passion that her marriage lacks. When she espies the gamekeeper Parkin (Jean-Louis Coullo ch) unselfconsciously bathing, stripped to the waist amidst the beauty of nature, she experiences a sexual awakening unlike anything she has ever dared to desire. Though separated by the boundaries of social convention, rough-hewn Parkin and high-bred Lady Chatterley unite in a love that is simultaneously innocent and erotic, a spiritual connection that transcends personal inhibitions and class prejudices.

Rating:  - A New Adaptation of Lawrence's Most Famous Novel
Director Pascale Ferran's award-winning film of D. H. Lawrence's famous-- or infamous novel, depending on your point of view-- is extremely well done and for the most part a joy to watch. The plot is familiar: Lady Chatterley (the perfectly cast Marina Hands) is reduced to taking care of her husband, Sir Clifford (Hippolyte Girardot), a casualty from World War I, in a marriage that is less than perfect on every level. One day she glimpses the gamekeeper Parkin (Jean-Louis Coullo'ch), a masculine, ... Read More
Rating:  - Very beautiful film
it is very slow. But, I think that's deliberate. It was very beautiful, but, it was very slow and too long. Enjoy!
Rating: - Love and class structure
D.H. Lawrence is known for his sensual (if not scandalous) novels of forbidden love, infatuation and attraction. "Lady Chatterley's Lover" was one of the books that in its time was considered scandalous. I was expecting that French director will produce a film that is sensual and erotic. However, the film feels strained. It is almost unnatural when French actors have English names. Film editing feels forced and choppy at time. Prolonged 120 minute production is not helping either. We do manage ... Read More
Rating: - Lady Chatterley Has Issues ...
I guess you could write all the live-long day about the number of times this D.H. Lawrence novel has been brought to the big screen, the small screen, or the direct-to-DVD screen, but I don't think LADY CHATTERLEY has been given such highbrow treatment before (though I admit I haven't seen the full BBC adaptation, which I hear is quite entertaining). I guess the entertainment industry's love affair with the classic novel enjoys the same lusty high and lows that the mylady does with the gamekeeper! For ... Read More
Rating: - Senses awakening
Excelent adaptation on the classic "Lady Chatteley's Lover". A new take on the famous romance(infamous at the time of its launching), with a focus on a sensual awakening of the heroine compatible with her emotional maturing, as opposed to previous versions, which highlighted a "sexual" awakening by itself, without contextualizing it...The photography is beautiful and although it may seem slow in some passages, I think that was the director's intention, as to show that the internal emotional evolution process ...
