Lady Chatterley
Pascale Ferran potently captures the earthy carnality of D.H. Lawrence’s story of lovers who cross class lines. Lawrence was one of the first writers to posit that sexuality is powerful, transformative and integral to human nature, and consequently his work was banned. Of course, our contemporary cultural life is filled with sexual images and his ideas don’t seem transgressive anymore, but Lawrence’s work is still revelatory and Ferran, with the help of extraordinary performances by Marina Hands as Constance Chatterley, and Jean-Louis Coulloc’h as Oliver Parkin, the gamekeeper, fashions an exquisitely sensual love story full of passion and humanity.
