This biographical film provides insight into the life of renowned British author D.H. Lawrence (Ian McKellen), best known for his sexually explicit novel LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER. In addition to exploring Lawrence's youth, PRIEST OF LOVE examines important events in Lawrence's personal and professional career, including his tempestuous relationship with his wife and sometime collaborator Frieda (Janet Suzman); his battle against censorship (LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER was banned in England for years); and his bisexuality.
Following the banning and burning of his novel, The Rainbow, D.H. Lawrence and his wife, Frieda, move to the United States, and then to Mexico. When Lawrence contracts tuberculosis, they return to England for a short time, then to Italy, where Lawrence wrote Lady Chatterley's Lover.
