Sons & Lovers

An adaptation of the D.H. Lawrence classic.

Runtime
192 min
DramaRomance

Synopsis

Stephen Whittaker adapts D.H. Lawrence's story into a film exploring themes of sex, love, and family. Set in the years before World War I, the film reflects on issues that families faced during that time, which mirror many of the challenges that people would continue to face nearly a century later. Human relationships remain fragile, and a sense of uncertainty persists as a constant in life. Sarah Lancashire stars in a drama that portrays the pain of first love and the confusing experience of first sex.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
