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.
Lady Chatterley’s Lover features a cast that includes Emma Corrin, Jack O’Connell, Joely Richardson, Matthew Duckett, Faye Marsay, and Ella Hunt.
Lady Chatterley’s Lover is set for release in cinemas on November 25th, and arrives on Netflix on December 2nd.
