December 10, 2006 Sutterlina 18 out of 18 found this review helpful I have read the previous reviews and I fully agree that this is a very good adaptation of Lawrence's novel and backed up by a truly felicitous cast. However I would like to qualify a common remark made by two of the previous reviewers: that the film does not entirely follow the novel. I think the film actually reflects more of Lawrence's book than we realise as the director relied not only on the last version of the novel, which got published in the 20s, but also on the first two versions of the book. The film is, in my opinion, quite an achievement precisely because it is faithful to the book-as-a-writing-process, with the director bringing back to life memorable scenes that did not make it into the final version of Lady Chatterley's Lover. wonderful adaptation April 12, 2002 22 out of 28 found this review helpful The film is presented as an adaptation of Lawrence's classical novel,and that's what it is:we don't have to imagine it's perfectly following the book.But I wasn't disappointed,at the contrary,it's a wonderful adaptation,the actors are superb,especially Sean Bean,and the film doesn't betray the nature of the characters.One of the most important themes of the film is the fact that the two lovers belong to two different classes.brI prefered THIS end.Romantic and erotic. A wonderful cast and a satisfying story April 17, 2007 Chappers (London) 5 out of 7 found this review helpful A beautifully-filmed rendition of DH Lawrence's 'Lady Chatterley's Lover', which uses strands from each of the three versions of his story ('John Thomas and Lady Jane', 'The First Lady Chatterley' and 'Lady Chatterley's Lover'), to create a sumptuous and satisfying tale. It's so good that it's prompted me to go back and re-read the novel. br / br /The cast is simply wonderful and each actor is so perfectly cast, at the right age to give this tale credibility. Joely Richardson plays the title role like a delicate bird fluttering hopelessly against the bars of its cage, longing for life and passion. Sean Bean is superb as the solitary and proud gamekeeper who recognises her need and fulfills her, and in doing so finds fulfillment himself. And Shirley Anne Field is extraordinary as the housekeeper/nurse who notices everything and says nothing. Each of them could have been born to play their respective roles. br / br /The director Ken Russell does a fine job of pointing up the gulf between the working and upper classes, which makes the lovers' story so brave and beautiful. The only downsides for me were seeing Ken Russell himself popping up as Lady Chatterley's father (which brought me back to reality with a bit of a bump!), and the patchy music. Most of it was fine, but the (I assume, specially composed) music that accompanied the pair's couplings was raucous and I found it unintentionally funny. I tend to agree with the other reviewer who disliked the rather fast 'n furious 'wrap-up happy ending', which contrasted poorly with the gentle pace of the rest of the story, but it left me feeling happy all the same. br / br /This DVD version retains its original format of 4 episodes, as it was originally aired on the BBC. Oh Joy! December 14, 2008 Motionless_shadow (uk) Sean Bean. Naked. Who could ask for more?!!!! br /Gorgeousness aside, this is a fantastic adaptation of an amazingly influential novel. My friend was over the Moon April 18, 2009 Mrs. D. A. Kilercioglu I bought this DVD for my friend at work who couldnt get it anywhere, and had been after it in the shops for years, she was over the moon when i bought it into work for her, she loves Shaun Bean and it made her day, thanx Amazon.
