Marina Hands gives an extraordinary performance in the title role of this award winning adaptation of DH Lawrence's scandalous and controversial classic of sexual awakening. Trapped in a passionless marraige to an invalid husband (Hippolyte Girardot) in whose country estate she is isolated, the aristocratic young Constance finds unlikely solace in the taciturn form of gamekeeper Parkin (Jean Louis Coulloc'h). Despite their diametrically opposed backgrounds and initial disinterests, Parkin slowly unlocks in Constance a profound and previously undiscovered desire, whilst she coaxes him back from his self imposed solitude. A beautifully shot, wildly sensual and touchingly tender love story, 'Lady Chatterley' revitalises Lawrence's masterpiece for modern audiences.

Sensuous, frank, honest, explicit and unrushed. The characters develop and are allowed to go through the range of emotions. You need to be in the mood for this gentle pace, but if you are it is a treat. Beautifully shot too - with Provence replacing the English countryside. Not for short attention -span types.
