Women in Love (Russell, 1969): BFI Southbank, NFT2, 8.20pm
This film also screens on April 20th and 26th and is part of the Big Screen Classics strand at BFI Southbank. Full details here.
BFI introduction:
Two couples (Oliver Reed, Glenda Jackson, Alan Bates and Jennie Linden)
find themselves trapped between the pressure to follow convention and
the urge to explore a Bohemian lifestyle. The lush English landscape
offers a verdant backdrop as the protagonists engage with nature in a
direct and sensuous way, each searching for love but unsure what it
means. Cinematographer Billy Williams’ gorgeous imagery and dramatic
lighting, and Shirley Russell’s vibrant period costumes make Women in
Love a visual delight throughout. This newly remastered digital version
restores the film’s colour and texture to its full glory.
