I suppose it was bound to happen., 5 April 2009
8/10
Author: lastliberal from Florida

Six times this film has been made. This is the first with a woman as director (Pascale Ferran). It won five Césars (French Oscars), but surprisingly none for Ferran. The Best Director award went to Guillaume Canet for Tell No One, which also featured Marina Hands. She returns the following year in the Oscar nominated The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.

She starred in this film as Lady Chatterley, a woman whose husband (Hippolyte Girardot) was confined to a wheelchair.

The film was originally short of three hours, but this is the Director's Cut, and it runs 3 hours and 21 minutes.

It features outstanding cinematography of the French countryside, and beautiful music. In fact, as Lady Chatterley likes to take long walks in the woods, we get to see a lot of scenery.

She decides she wants to stop and rest in the gamekeeper's (Jean-Louis Coullo'ch) hut. He is not too thrilled with this, as he is a loner.

A loner and a lonely woman. Will events transcend social status? Soon, the hut becomes more than a resting place, as she starts to plant flowers. She is visiting almost every day. It is the gamekeeper that makes a bold move that results in sex. One would not think that a Lady would be interested in sex on a hard wooden floor with nothing but a blanket, but she does. It is hard to believe she was happy as the foreplay was nonexistent and he finished in less than a minute, but she said she'll be back.

The second meeting was the mirror of the first, and it was on the third time in the woods that she finally got satisfaction.

The running naked in the rain and doing it in the mud was special. Afterwards, back in the hut, he decorated her with flowers. She looked like a wood nymph. She crosses the line here declaring her love for him.

She takes a vacation with her father and sister and her whole world changes. But, the love they had for each other doesn't change and the expression at the end was magnificent.
