Movie Reviews of Women in Love
Movie Review: Beautiful...Poetic...Hot
Summary: 5 Stars
There are so many important scenes in this movie:
--> A disillusioned lover walks off in the snow to commit suicide. He tosses his gloves aside then just lays down in a snowbank.
--> Glenda Jackson takes a riotous sleigh ride and brays "I've never felt more alive in my life!"
--> The two male characters talk about female sexuality while splitting open ripe figs and sucking out the seeds.
But the prime interest is in the male nude scenes. The two lead actors wrestling in the raw by the fireside fascinated me from the first time I saw it as a teenager. And Alan Bates walking nude through the forest, whipping himself with fir branches - eegads!
Thank you, DH Lawrence and scriptwriter Larry Kramer (who later founded ACT UP)! You showed a curious young man (me!) that the world is larger, more dramatic, more beautiful than I ever imagined.
Movie Review: Multi-faceted relationships
Summary: 5 Stars
Ken Russell did us all a great service by trying to break the conventions of film-making. In this interpretation of love, he juggles the underlying emotions between the two couples with the essential love between the two men. The latter was not a homosexual love but a love of the spirit and the mind. The naked wrestling scene remains a piece of innovation in the cinema. The use of the weapon of jealousy is woven into the fabric of the character perpetrated by Jackson and endured by Reed. The final exchange between Bates and Linden remains for me, the epitome of love. e-Dreams e-LOVEMovie Review: Women in Love
Summary: 5 Stars
This intelligent, passionate adaptation of the D.H. Lawrence novel by British director Russell fuses romantic classicism with frank talk, as the frolicking foursome openly discuss their philosophies of love and desire, friendship and commitment. Reed and then-unknown actress Glenda Jackson are especially compelling as the couple whose marital life is corrupted by her frivolous affair with a bisexual painter in Switzerland. Russell has an eye for the extravagant, like the nude fireside wrestling match between Gerald and Rupert, but such daring, unexpected episodes are part of the film's great appeal. What's not to "Love"?Movie Review: COUNTRY MANNERS.........
Summary: 5 Stars
STILL, very moving, erotic, devastating and rather frightening in its frank sexual portrayal! D.H. Lawrence veiled expose of the 'Bloomsbury' Set and 'other encounters' - today's imitations pale by comparison. Masterful performances by Glenda Jackson, Alan Bates, and the late Oliver Reed. Lush direction - and adaptation by Ken Russell and superb costumes by Mrs Russell - all lovingly restored on the late but 'collector's item DVD. Quite true to the flamboyant novel and a veritable primer for the aspiring actor.
Now, how about more Russell Restorations??
Movie Review: beautiful and sensual

This is one of my all time favourite movies and after seeing it again on DVD, it still holds up really well.The photography and location shots are lush, beautiful and sensual, with superb acting by the whole cast.I won't go into the story but say that the DVD transfer is excellent, with great clarity and colour,and the commentaries by the director and screen writer very informative and interesting.I highly recommend this DVD of a great classic movie, one of the best.
