Y Enduring popularity It was so scandalous that an unreleased version didn’t appear until the publisher won an obscenity lawsuit in the UK in 1960 and had 3 million sales, not to mention the various film and television versions throughout. Including the 1955 movie, which was also the subject of a censorship cry. Now French actress and filmmaker Laure de Clermont-Tonner has taken a new spin in an uninhibited and mature yet highly respected version starring Emma Corinne.crown) Like Connie, who is happily married to England’s upper class, only to have a fiery affair with her husband’s new caretaker, Oliver Mellors, played by Jack O’Connell. This thing would have turned upside down like a souffle if it weren’t for the right, believable chemistry between two lovers, both married. Fortunately, these are two extremely talented actors who pull it off in more ways than one.

This story is familiar, almost a century has passed. Connie marries Sir Clifford Chatterley and meanwhile the happy couple becomes Lady Constance Chatterley as her family’s estate moves to Wrigley. However, like many at the time, he is called to the front lines in World War I, and six months later returns to his new wife in a wheelchair and paraplegic.

With the caveat that no one knows the baby is not Clifford’s.

Things get complicated when she finds out she’s actually pregnant.

Corinne is simply gorgeous as the free-spirited Lady Chatterley, and she and her equally good-natured O’Connell throw everything, including themselves, against the wall in this increasingly intense and dangerous confrontation that proves love must be physical, not physical. only in mind. .
