c2005., Adult, MGM Home Entertainment Call No: DVD Fic Lady C Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Sylvia Kristel (Emmanuelle) is "beautiful" (The New York Times) as the lonely young wife of a wealthy aristocrat in this scintillating tale of love, lust and forbidden fantasies. Adapted from D.H. Lawrence's famously erotic novel, this "truly sumptuous production" captures the "splendor of the English countryside" (The Hollywood Reporter) and the torturous conflict between duty-and desire. Paralyzed from the waist down due to a war injury, Sir Clifford Chatterley (Shane Briant) urges his wife, Constance (Kristel), to take a lover to satisfy her physical needs. But when she begins an intense affair with a man of shockingly lower class - the virile and rugged gamekeeper Mellors (Nicholas Clay) - the unexpected stirring of passions will rock not only the Chatterleys' marriage, but all of society as well."--Container.

(2007, p1995)., Adult, distributed exclusively in Canada by Alliance Films Call No: DVD Fic Total Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Leonardo DiCaprio (Titanic, The Man in the Iron Mask, Romeo and Juliet) and David Thewlis (Besieged, The Big Lebowski, The Island of Dr. Moreau) offer a tour-de-force lesson in the seductive strength of art and the destructive power of genius. DiCaprio plays Arthur Rimbaud - a remarkable but rebellious teenage poet in 19th Century France whose philosophy of living life to the extreme inspired Jim Morrison and the rock generation. Thewlis is Paul Verlaine, a writer of lesser talent who is torn between his growing infatuation with Rimbaud and the domestic demands of his patient wife (Romane Bohringer). Together, these two men feed each other's insatiable hunger for life and love, trying desperately to straddle the lines between knowledge and self-destruction, creativity and delusion. Director Agnieszka Holland (The Secret Garden) and screenwriter Christopher Hampton (Dangerous Liaisons) have lovingly re-created this true story of one man's search for the ultimate poem, another man's search for the ultimate soulmate, and the brilliant madness they find together."--Container (US ed.).
