The Rainbow
by D. H. Lawrence
Lush with religious and metaphysical imagery, this film is the story of three generations of the Brangwen family against the collapse of the rural English central regions. It looks at the sexual traditions of the family, revealing the sexual dynamics of marriage and physical love. D.H. Lawrence explores the lives of three generations of the Brangwen family and recounts how their rural existence was gradually but profoundly altered by an influx of industry and urbanism. But it was the young Ursula Brangwen who revealed herself with her sexual awakening that became the focal point of Lawrence's classic work, which was banned by court order when it was first published in London in 1915. Lawrence's sequel, Women in Love, is also available.
