a pretext
2 April 2023
Maybe , three sins define this adaptation:
  • the feeling about see more an Marc Allegret film than a version of D. H. Lawrence. It seems than the novel becomes a sort of pretext for a fresco of noble people life and this noblety is pure French.


  • the second problem - it is the film of Danielle Darrieux but she domains in so many measure each scene in a cold manner than Constance who you expect is just missing.


  • the way to recreate atmosphere of novel is conventional. Sure, a good option for the role of Clifford but his accent is just eccentric in context of French of the others.


In short, a correct version, not memorable but honest one.

But, sure, fair option for the French old films admirers.
