Lady Chatterly

Marina Hands gives an extraordinary performance in the title role of this award-winning adaptation of DH Lawrence's scandalous and controversial classic of sexual awakening. Trapped in a passionless marriage to an invalid husband (Hippolyte Girardot) in whose country estate she is isolated, the aristocratic young Constance finds unlikely solace in the taciturn form of gamekeeper Parkin (Jean-Louis Culloc'h). Despite their diametrically opposed backgrounds and initial disinterest, Parkin slowly unlocks in Constance a profound and previously undiscovered desire, whilst she coaxes him back from his self-imposed solitude. A beautifully shot, wildly sensual and touchingly tender love story, Lady Chatterley revitalises Lawrence's masterpiece for modern audiences.
