Lady Chatterley (2007)

Pascale Ferran returns to the front ranks of French filmmaking with this beautiful adaptation of "Lady Jane & John Thomas", the second version of D.H. Lawrence's "Lady Chatterley's Lover". Constance Reid is 23 years old when she marries Clifford Chatterley, a dashing Lieutenant in the British army. It is 1917 and their honeymoon is short lived. Clifford goes to fight on the Flanders battle front from which he returns a broken man, paralysed from the hips down. Constance's sexual frustration leads her into a passionate affair with Parkin, the gameskeeper - who chooses to live a solitary life.
