A Netflix adaptation of the D.H. Lawrence novel 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' is coming to the streaming giant on December 2
, with a passionate love affair at its center that cuts across class lines.
It remains one of the most-talked-about books of the 20th Century and the first novel to explore the idea of female sexual pleasure so directly.“Basically, I think everybody wants to find love,” producer Laurence Mark said about the movie in a Netflix interview. “And nobody knows where it’s going to come from. And I think forbidden love is also even more attractive in terms of literature and movies … finding somebody that you can’t have.
In terms of the story, Connie is set for a life of wealth and privilege upon marrying Clifford Chatterley, which affords her the title of Lady Chatterley. Everything is upended, however, when her husband returns from the war, so injured that he’s unable to walk. Connie becomes a caregiver of sorts for her husband and soon meets and falls in love with Oliver Mellors, the gamekeeper on the Chatterley family estate.
In 1959, US federal judge Frederick van Pelt Bryan delivered a ruling in the book’s favor that reads, in part: “At this stage in the development of our society, this major English novel does not exceed the outer limits of tolerance.” Adds Mark: “A good, big, old-fashioned love story never goes out of style, I don’t think. People crave that connection. And they want to see people find each other, in the hope that they can do the same in their own lives.”
