Lady Chatterley (2006)
(Lady Chatterley et l'homme des bois)
Country: FR/BEL
Technical: col/1.66:1 168m
Director: Pascale Ferran
Cast: Marina Hands, Jean-Louis Coulloc'h, Hippolyte Girardot
Synopsis:
Looking after her war-crippled husband, Lady Chatterley has her dreams of men's embraces and the nurturing of children reawakened by her acquaintance with the grounds' gamekeeper.
Review:
The too-often melodramatically inflected bones of Lawrence's free-spirited original are reupholstered in a gently paced, quietly considered observation both of the natural world of the grounds and of the exquisitely nuanced lead performances; we are thus far more intimately, and less physically, connected to their characters' emotional experience than in past adaptations. The sexual content is frank but unsensational, as befits such a schema, with many clinches discreetly faded out.
