The film, starring Emma Corrin, Jack O’Connell, Matthew Duckett, and Joley Richardson, is based on the novel of the same name by D.H. Lawrence.

The original novel by D.H. Lawrence was released in 1929 and was actually quite controversial for its time. The book was banned for obscenity in the United States, Canada, Australia, India, and Japan, and was also notorious for its depiction of a relationship between a working-class man and an upper-class woman, as well as its use of swear words.
“Marrying Sir Clifford Chatterley, Connie’s life of wealth and privilege seems set as she takes the title of Lady Chatterley,” reads the official synopsis for the film. “Yet this idealistic union gradually becomes an incarceration when Clifford returns from the First World War with injuries that have left him unable to walk. When she meets and falls for Oliver Mellors, the gamekeeper on the Chatterley family estate, their secret trysts lead her to a sensual, sexual awakening. But as their affair becomes the subject of local gossip, Connie faces a life-altering decision: follow her heart or return to her husband and endure what Edwardian society expects of her.”
