Lady Chatterley (DVD) ... 2008 at Artificial Eye / Features of the DVD: PAL / October 1921: Constance, Lady Chatterley, and her husband Clifford have been living at Wragby Hall on the Chatterley estate in the heart of England’s mining country for a year or two. Four years earlier, and just a few months after they married, Clifford, who was serving as a lieutenant in the British Army, returned from Flanders permanently paralysed from the waist down. Winter has descended on everything. Constance whiles away monotonous days, trapped by her marriage to Clifford and her sense of duty. Sad and indifferent to everything, she feels her vital energy gradually ebbing out of her. Her sister Hilda rushes to her aid. She demands that Clifford employ a nurse to look after him, taking the burden off Constance. Mrs Bolton moves into Wragby Hall, and Constance’s new life begins. Spring time soon comes around. Outside, nature awakens, accompanying Constance on her first walks in the forest. But the forest is also the domain of Parkin, the gamekeeper of the estate. Parkin leads a life of self-imposed solitude in his house in the heart of the forest. The film is the story of his relationship with Constance. It traces the profound impact he has on Constance’s life; their first awkward encounters and their subsequent discovery of each other; her slow sensual awakening, and his lengthy journey back to life.

Something the working class ‘bit of rough’ gardener on her estate can. There is nothing inherently wrong with this version of the story except that it fails to instil the same kind of passion in the viewer that the two main characters have for each other. It is all a little bit bland and run of the mill, never really...more

Crowned Review Lady Chatterley (DVD): Sexuality French style (570 words)
by Ailran - written on 16.11.07 (Very useful, 231 readings)
Rating:

D.H. Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley in one of the most notorious books around. Banned for many a year and even the subject of court proceedings its tale of a lady of the house having an affair with her down and dirty common gardener caused uproar when it was released. The story has been adapted into a bawdy movie or a TV film on a number of occasions… Sean Bean anyone, by British companies that have met with varying degrees of success. This time around a French company in an unusual move, adapted it, though it is still set in the beautiful English countryside. It is a strange feeling seeing such a quintessential English story being told in French. ...
