This compelling redition of the literary masterpiece is " a visual stunner and very likely the most sensuous film ever made." Glenda Jackson garnered the first of her two Oscars for her superb performances in director Ken Russell and writer Larry Kramer's brilliant exploration of the complexities of sexuality and romantic love.

Growing up in the sheltered society of 1920's England, Gudrun (Jackson) and Ursula (Jennie Linden) know little about the ways of love. So when they pursue thrilling, torrid affairs with a notorious playboy (Alan Bates) and a brooding philanderer (Oliver Reed), what they discover about their lovers, and themselves, may be more all-consuming - and dangerously volatile - than they ever dared imagine.
