I’m always assigned the sexy movies. What does it mean? I do like to write about sex, so …. what better way to put my interests to use than reviewing an adaptation one of the most scandalous books of the 20th century? There are controversial books, and then there’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover, so scandalous it warranted a full-blown obscenity trial – over 30 years after its initial private publication. This new film adaptation is really good though. And very sexy! I miss sex in movies. I talk about it all the time and I bore my friends. Here’s my review. I really dig the director’s first film, Mustang (which I wrote about in my Film Comment piece about Matthias Schoenaerts). She’s talented. So now with this one, she has officially become “someone to watch”.
I think you also get the literary films, some of which are sexy. You write so well about the literature. And the pleasure of sex.
This sounds like an excellent adaptation. I’ll check it out.
It’s really good. So much of Lawrence can be very …. uhm, silly … but in context it’s not silly, really – and I think this adaptation does a pretty good job of being specific about it. And these actors are all so good!
