A vapid adaptation of D.H. Lawrence's scorching novel that fizzles into nothingness on the screen. The director and star of the soft-porn classic EMMANUELLE, Jaeckin and Kristel, combine their debatable talents, with the latter playing the role of Lady Chatterley. Stuck with a husband who's
paralyzed from the waist down, the sex-driven Kristel is encouraged to take on a lover. She vents her energies with gamekeeper Clay, and together they display their sexual prowess like peacocks their feathers. The kindest thing to say is that the production is attractive. Also released at 141
minutes. (In English.)
