Editorial Review: Description: Paralyzed from the waist down due to a war injury, Sir Clifford Chatterley (Shane Briant) urges his wife, Constance (Sylvia Kristel), to take a lover to satisfy her physical needs. But when she begins an intense affair with a man of shockingly lower class the virile and rugged gamekeeper Mellors (Nicholas Clay) the unexpected stirring of passions will rock not only their marriage, but all of society as well. Amazon.com: Back in the day when full-frontal nudity and soft-core eroticism were still part of the mainstream release strategy, Lady Chatterley's Lover made the rounds as a higher-toned slab of hubba-hubba. For this opus, Sylvia Kristel, the Dutch-born beauty who had bared all and gained a following in Emmanuelle, teamed up again with that film's director, Just Jaeckin,. Based on the once-scandalous D.H. Lawrence novel (and at least partly adapted by Marc Behm), Lady Chatterley casts Kristel as the wife of a paralyzed nobleman (former Hammer star Shane Briant). He can no longer make love to his sexy missus, and so gives his blessing to the idea of her having an affair--although the reality of the Lady getting it on with the manor's rough-hewn gamekeeper (Nicholas Clay) is not what he had in mind. The result is much closer to a bodice-ripping romance novel than to Lawrence (stick with Ken Russell's Women in Love for Lawrence erotica), and the sex scenes have the customary tropes of crackling fire and dancing in the rain. The sheer dullness of the production might be the price one must pay for getting to the hot parts, of which there are plenty. --Robert Horton Average Rating:
 Rating: - LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVERI 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, ...

Lord suggests she take a lover. Very needing love, she sees a farm hand washing himself fully naked and has an organism being so struck. Later on they formally meet and start having regular encounters. Lord, seeing his wife less interested engages a medical therapist who becomes his dear friend and adoring companion. Catching her after their first night together, he sends ... Read More Rating: - Lady Chatterly's LoverThis 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. Rating: - Nicely done.I am a D.H. Lawrence fan, but I purposely didn't re-read the book just before seeing this, because I wanted to judge the film on its own merits. I was a bit unsure about the role being handed to Sylvia Kristel, but she showed she's more than just Emmanuelle eye candy; she can actually act, and the movie comes across very well as literature-with-small-L as well as erotica. Highly recommended. Rating: - Lady Chatterley's LoverI saw this movie in 1982, it is great to see it again after all these years. Browse for similar items by category:
