Lady Chatterley

Lawrence??™s classic novel about the turbulent love affair between a lonely British aristocrat??™s wife and their estate??™s gamekeeper. Director Pascale Ferran captures the author??™s vision both of a society in transition, and the tremulous eroticism between two people drawn together despite its inequalities.
