Better than expected version of the old smutty D.H. Lawrence story of a posh bit having an affair with a rough games-keeper.
To be honest, I'd probably say the BBC version with Sean Bean around 1995 was a lot more sleazier. Most of the sex here is done in a jokey style, if that makes sense. Kristel is dubbed I bet you. I've not looked at IMDb.com yet, but I'm betting she was. Nicholas Clay is hilarious in his role as Mellors. It's like a porn star version of Gazza when he talks. You wouldn't think that accent comes from his mouth.
Bloody excellent soundtrack too. Current searching to see if it available anywhere.
Mildly recommended.
score 6/10
