Based on the eponymous novel by D. H. Lawrence, Netflix’s ‘Lady Chatterley’s Lover’ is a period romantic drama movie directed by Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre that follows the life of Constance ‘Connie’ Reid, a woman born in a wealthy and privileged family who marries Sir Clifford Chatterley and takes the title of Lady Chatterley. Despite being an ideal marriage, Connie falls out of love with him when he returns from the war with fatal injuries that restrict him from walking.
