After having seen all the film adaptations of Lady Chatterley's Lover 1981 onwards, in my opinion none of them can hold a candle to (this) Ken Russell's version. It has beauty, poetry, squalor and vision. I write this in Oct 2019 and after viewing the previous versions. Joely Richard's radiant beauty and sensuality, Sean Bean's passion however roughly expressed and his earthiness are to be treasured. I just wish Ken Russell's version was available uncut in Blu Ray.
The 2015 adaptation is particularlyy bad and poorly cast, the characters look weak and project a superficial aura and do not make you care for either of the characters in the film. And have nothing of the feel of the period. Some of the stone faced house staff look like they were hired from some military regiment for their wooden expressions.
The 2015 version of LCL suffers from the same problem the 2015 version of Far From the Madding Crowd suffers. Poorly cast characters. Though of the two Far From the Madding Crowd is slightly better.
