Amant de lady Chatterley, L’ (France)
Lady Chatterley’s Liebhaber (West Germany)

She was beautiful and sensual, trapped in a loveless marriage. He was her husband’s servant. Born into worlds as far apart, they found a passionate world of their own.
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 “splendor of the English countryside” (The Hollywood Reporter) and the torturous conflict between duty and desire.Paralyzed 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 the Chatterleys’ marriage but all of society as well.
