Synopsis
Lady Chatterley's Lover (1981) is Just Jaeckin's screen take on D.H. Lawrence's once-banned novel, and you can watch it online on iFILM. A war wound has left Sir Clifford Chatterley paralysed and impotent.
His young wife Connie keeps house and keeps faith, though the marriage offers her no physical life at all. Clifford even blesses the idea of her taking a lover and promises to raise any child as his own. What he never expects is that her desire settles not on a gentleman but on Oliver Mellors, the estate's gamekeeper. Jaeckin, the man behind Emmanuelle, films the affair as a frank sensual awakening, with Sylvia Kristel as Lady Chatterley. This is the soft, erotic reading of the book rather than its bleak portrait of class. Stream Lady Chatterley's Lover (1981) online on iFILM.
