Continuing with the Ken Russell Collection: his adaptation of D. H. Lawrence's The Rainbow, with Sammi Davis, Glenda Jackson, and Amanda Donohoe. For Ken, fairly restrained.

  • Love this film. A thing of beauty. Glorious score. Superb direction. Ken Russell ever so slightly restrained. Not available on U.S. DVD but can be streamed from Amazon.com.

  • Just finished reading the rainbow...and it's one of the strangest , most disturbing books ive ever read. the rainbow has a lot of deep things to say about human sexuality and sensual fulfilment being an impotant route to profound self-knowledge and self realisation in a world of superficial materialism and the stultifying degredation of the human spirit by the mechanisation of society, this on the other hand makes it seem like something by catherine cookson

  • Is the sex scene good? I love Mcgann lol

  • this film is shocking... the acting oh- my -god ! and that cringe love scene which was such a joke.

  • @AllErikaEclectica Couldn't agree more! I have the orig. series (somewhere) on old videotape. Rich

  • @missbabyice : Ursula Brangwen

    Avoid this film it's a disgrace, a ham-fisted gross simplification of Lawrence's themes. Read the book.

  • Who does The Rainbow tell the story of? (I've read Women in Love)

  • sammi davis jr.

  • Loved every second of it. Really sets the tone for Women in Love. And with his Lady Chatterley tv series, Russell completes his (sort of) D H Lawrence trilogy. Pleasant to know that the soundtrack was by Carl Davis, who did a great soundtrack for the Pride and Prejudice (1995) that the BBC did with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. A must-see!

  • Beautifl view and marvelousmusic.Thank you for posting.
