Movie Reviews of Lady Chatterley's Lover
Movie Review: LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER
Summary: 4 Stars
I PRESUME THIS IS THE FIRST PICTURE OF SYLVIA KRISTEL WHERE WE CAN SEE HER CHANCE OF ACTING, AS AN ACTRESS, NOT ONLY A WOMAN WITH BEAUTIFULL BODY. THE OTHERS ACTORS ARE ALSO VERY CONVINCING IN THEIR ROLES, AND THE LUXURIOUS AMBIANCE OF THE LATE HYPOCRITE BELLE-EPOQUE IS EASILY PERCEIVED. I THINK THAT THE REAL MOTIVE OF GREAT SCANDAL CAUSED BY THE BOOK OF LAWRENCE- FROM WHAT THE MOVIE IS BASED-IN HIS DAYS, , WAS THE FACT THAT A LADY, ARISTOCRAT, TAKE A PEASANT AS HER LOVER, AND NOT BY HAVING A LOVER, VERY COMMON IN ANY SOCIETY.Movie Review: Lady Chatterly's Lover
Summary: 4 Stars
This version of Lady Chatterly's Lover is one of the better versions of D.H. Lawrence's novel. It was a little long (over 2 hours) for my short attention span, but it is engaging and the protagonists are likeable. While it is a good adaptation, the relationships between the characters are different from the relationships in the novel. It's worth watching if you enjoy a good love story that's a bit dramatic.Movie Review: loyalty to love
Summary: 4 Stars

Movie Review: This one was a long time coming...
Summary: 3 Stars
A mainstay on HBO around 1982-83, "Lady Chatterly's Lover" is a soft-core romance, but not a sleazy one. It wasn't successful in theaters, maybe because nobody knew what audience it was targeted to (surely not literature addicts or art-house filmgoers; maybe Sylvia Kristel/"Emmanuelle" fans). Consequently, it was popular on cable and video, where viewing privacy can elicit whatever reactions necessary (mostly giggles). It isn't very well-made, but the acting is decent and the passion is convincing. The editing is sloppy, with some sequences, and the ending, cut short, but it does have a few steamy scenes, frisky nudity, and good location filming.Movie Review: Bastardized the social theme of DH Lawrence
Summary: 3 Stars
DH Lawrence nearly ruined his career when this book was published. There were so many shocking social themes and commentaries inherent in the story. Sadly, the film version played up the affair and it resulted in a soft-core nearly X-rated motion picture. Perhaps it is time for a remake that is truer to what DH Lawrence wanted to say about the folly of love and desire.
