A beautiful young woman, married to a crippled aristocrat, begins a passionate and tender affair with her husband’s gamekeeper, in Ferran’s beautifully acted, swooningly romantic, sensually erotic, and understatedly moving adaptation of D.H. Lawrence’s John Thomas and Lady Jane, the second draft of the English author’s Lady Chatterley's lover. Iain.Stott
