Sylvia Kristel (Emmanuelle) is "beautiful" (The New York Times) as the lonely young wife of a wealthy aristocrat in this scintillating tale of love, lust and forbidden fantasies. Adapted from D.H. Lawrence's famously erotic novel, this "truly sumptuous production" captures the "splendour of the English countryside" (The Hollywood Reporter) and the torturous conflict between duty... and desire.

Paralysed from the waist down due to a war injury, Sir Clifford Chatterley (Shane Briant) urges his wife, Constance (Kristel), to take a lover to satisfy her physical needs. But when she begins an intense affair with a man of shockingly lower class - the virile and rugged gamekeeper Mellors (Nicholas Clay) - the unexpected stirring of passions will rock not only their marriage, but all of society as well.
