French director Pascale Ferran delivers a coolly elegant new screen take on DH Lawrence’s once notorious novel about a high-born woman’s adulterous affair with a commoner. It forgoes the book’s obscene language and graphic sexual realism for a more contemplative drama of sex, love, and moral regeneration. Elevated by a gracious breakthrough performance by Marina Hands, Lady Chatterley has already won France’s prestigious Louis Delluc Prize and five César Awards. The film centres every scene on young Constance, Lady Chatterley, whose baronet husband, Sir Clifford Chatterley, is a paraplegic war veteran and mine owner. But her listlessness, poor health and sexual frustration lead her into an affair with her husband’s gamekeeper, Parkin, which deepens into a more complex passion. Fersiwn hynod slic am hanes y fenyw o dras uchel yn syrthio mewn cariad â’i gwas. Yn y pumdegau, achosodd y nofel gynnwrf mawr, mae’r ffilm hon yn dweud y stori mewn dull mwy aeddfed a myfyriol. (168’)
