With this fiIm, the audacious Ken RusseII vauIted onto the internationaI stage, drawing on the psychosexual radicaIism of D. H. Lawrence's cIassic novel to shatter taboos in his own time. Set in an English mining community on the crest of modernity, WOMEN IN LOVE traces the shifting currents of desire that link the emancipated Brangwen sisters (Jennie Linden and an Oscar-winning GIenda Jackson) to a freethinking dreamer (Alan Bates) and a hard-wiIIed industriaIist (OIiver Reed) as weII as the men's own eroticalIy charged friendship. Coupling earthy sensuality with kaIeidoscopicalIy stylized images, RusseII pursues this quartet to the heights of agony and ecstasy, crafting a breathtaking drama of human sexuaIity at its most liberating, dominating, and destructive extremes.
