Women in Love (Russell, 1969): Prince Charles Cinema, 8.45pm
This 35mm screening is part of a mini Ken Russell season at the Prince Charles Cinema. Full details can be found here.
Chicago Reader review:
Ken Russell first claimed attention with this 1970 adaptation of the
D.H. Lawrence novel. In retrospect, it seems surprisingly sane and
classy for him, though his themes of excess and abandon bubble beneath
the surface. Though the plotting is largely shucked in favor of image
and atmosphere, it remains Russell’s best-told film apart from Savage Messiah.
The delirious romanticism is not nullified, in Russell’s usual way, by a
sour awareness of its absurdity, which may account for the film’s
persistent popularity.
