PARIS- An adaptation of D.H. Lawrence's "Lady Chatterley's Lover" was named France's best film of 2006 and landed four other honors at the Cesar awards Saturday, the French equivalent of the Oscars.

Marina Hands, as the lady in question, won best actress and the film also won awards for best adaptation, best costumes and best cinematography.
