Lady Chatterley
Pascale Ferran, Director
2006 | 161 min | Feature
This French treatment of D.H. Lawrence's story of class and sexual awakening is not the first, yet many critics acclaimed it the best. Notably, it adapts Lawrence's earlier draft, John Thomas and Lady Jane and has a woman, Pascale Ferran, as director and co-writer. As the title indicates, Constance Chatterley (Marina Hands) is the focus, rather than her lover (Jean-Louis Coulloc'h). Stunning cinematography and notable performances distinguish this multiple award-winner, which The New York Times hailed as "bracingly fresh, vital and modern."
