Lady Chatterley's Lover

There’s nothing much to fault this romantic film for, but there’s not much to praise it for either. A safe relationship plot in which none of the characters can be judged for anything, despite their indulgence in forbidden fruit. The lack of greater dramatization and the 100% fulfilment of the genre template practically make the film a Harlequin romance. However, the helping of sensuality in the erotic scenes is pleasing. It’s interesting to see how, thanks to the open internet age, unglamorized sex is becoming a natural part of mainstream film entertainment. (12/14/2022)
