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.

A film that develops slowly with exquisite camerawork and cinematography. Lady Chatterley's affair is like a slow-burning candle that allows the viewer to empathise with her difficult marriage to a disabled man who breathes a wintry cold and indifference even on the golden summer days. Her new lover is hardly a Brad Pitt, but he becomes convincing in his physical and sensuous attraction to 'his Lady'. A beautiful film but overlong - it could have been cut by at least half an hour.
