Although reasonably explicit, a new Netflix version of “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” never feels sensationalist
dying in 1929, D.H. Lawrence defended “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” as “an honest, healthy book, necessary for us today”. Over the next few decades, censors, critics and lawyers would scrap over the wholesomeness and necessity of his final novel. Lawrence, the tubercular, self-exiled son of a Nottinghamshire miner, even managed to tweak the course of British social history from beyond the grave when, in 1960, a landmark trial cleared Penguin’s unexpurgated paperback edition.
Made for Netflix, the latest version of Lawrence’s ardent, if preachy, plea for the human “touch of tenderness” against the iron fist of money and machines comes from Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre, an actor-director. She supplies a respectful, gimmick-free interpretation and dodges the worst traps for the “Chatterley” adapter: overwrought couplings and ponderous didacticism. Her stress falls on the pair’s love story: the “little flame between us” that scandal never quite puts out.
