Lady M

About the movie

Lady Katherine is locked in a marriage of convenience to a much older man. Lectured at by the priest, tormented by her husband and his father expecting her to provide an heir, she soon seeks an outlet for her passion in one of her husband’s many servants, young groom Sebastian.
Acclaimed theatre director William Oldroy relocates Nikolai Leskov’s Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk to 19th-century England, in this Gothic tale about a young woman trapped in a marriage of convenience whose passionate affair unleashes a maelstrom of murder and mayhem on a country estate.
