Winner of six Cesar Awards, this is a luminous new adaptation of D.H. Lawrence’s classic novel Lady Chatterley’s Lover from French female director Pascale Ferran, exploring female sexual independence at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution.
The familiar tale follows the eponymous Lady Chatterley, trapped in a repressive, loveless marriage, as she embarks on a passionate affair with her gamekeeper.
Beautifully shot, it successfully uses visual style to express psychological insight and provide us with a riveting exploration of class, gender and the transcendental power of sexuality, all filtered through a keenly observed, highly nuanced emotional prism.
