Lady Chatterley (2006)

Based on the novel "John Thomas and Lady Jane", by D.H. Lawrence, written in 1927. This novel was not published during the author's life; it was rewritten and published as "Lady Chatterley's Lover" in 1928.

A woman whose husband is paralyzed has an affair with the gamekeeper.

Well done, but to be honest I found it too beautiful. On the one hand, it raises interesting questions about the class system in 1920's England; on the other, I am not so sure about the verisimilitude of these characters and situations. And I was a little bored.

Rating: 67
