Tess of the D'Urbervilles (1998)

 I like films based on Thomas Hardy novels. I like the setting and the stories. 

Directed by Ian Sharp An adaptation of Thomas Hardy's novel 'Tess of the d’Urbervilles'. Young country girl Tess Durbyfield goes to work for her aristocratic relatives, the D’Urbervilles, in an attempt at helping her family to raise some money. Her cousin Alec falls in love with her and seduces/rapes her. Starring Justine Waddell as Tess Durbeyfield, Jason Flemyng as Alec D'Urberville, and Oliver Milburn as Angel Clare.
