Movie Reviews of Lady Chatterley (2006) (Ws Sub)
Movie Review: A New Adaptation of Lawrence's Most Famous Novel
Summary: 5 Stars
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, humpy man not in her class, naked from the waist up bathing himself. The rest is, as they say, herstory. Lady Chatterley spends the rest of the over-two-hour film having sex with Parkin whenever possible. What begins as clothed passion eventually becomes naked, abandoned love.
All three main characters are well cast, complex and believable. Sir Clifford, for all his coldness and upper class snobbery, is a sympathetic figure as evidenced in the scene when he stalls out his motorized wheel car and has to depend on the help of both his wife and Parkin as well as when he confronts Constance with her own drawing of class distinctions.As difficult as love may be between classes, particulary in this time in British history, we are left in the end of this beautifully filmed movie believing that it just may be possible. Parkin and Constance engage in some of the most torrid sex scenes you are likely to see.
The film is a little too long and at times gets a little too much like "Elvira Madigan" with all those trysts in the meadows. And I kept wondering why Sir Clifford's nurse didn't know what Lady Chatterley was doing when she was so often not at home but always out in the fields with her man. Finally the director shows passage of time with captions on the screen, a tad distracting.
"Lady Chatterley" is still, however one beautiful film to watch and not to be missed.
Summary of Lady Chatterley (2006) (Ws Sub)
The most frankly sensual movie in memory, (Los Angeles Times) Pascale Ferran s intelligent, deeply moving, and exquisitely photographed LadyChatterley 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.
