The children of the rustic village of Timpetill are unmanageable: they play pranks, destroy shops, get into fights, and are generally dismissive of adult authority... until one morning, the kids wake up to discover that their parents have abandoned the town and left them to run things on their own. After a brief binge of freedom, in which the anarchic youth trash the school and overdose on candy, toys, makeup, and motorcycles, the food runs

  • Lady Chatterley, Pascale Ferran (2006)

  • Aug 16, 2009 from 1:00pm to 4:00pm
  • Location: MOMA
  • Description: Lawrence was one of the first writers to insist that sexuality was a powerful, transformative realm of experience that deserved to be considered on its own terms, outside of traditional moral and religious considerations.Of course what once seemed transgressive is by now old news. But if novels and movies about sex have lost their salutary shock value, many of Lawrence’s essential insights about human nature remain true. What Ms. Ferran shows, with exemplary clarity and subtlety, is the way sexual attraction, and the connection it creates, alter both Constance’s and Parkin’s perceptions of themselves, each other and the world around them.
