Look Back in Anger (1985)
Reading your review makes me look back in anger
Sir, I have seen this work. it was released on video tape as it was shot on tape and was shown on PBS in the eighties as part of Great Performances Serise. I like this work as anyone who has ever struggled to live and overcome the shoddy treatment of people they love and it is sad because it is all they have. They don't have to make stories like this anymore as too many people are living this way with out hope and in despair as they see no future and tomorrow is the same as today as toady is the same as yesterday. I cried when Alison, Jimmy porters wife comes back to him and tells him about crawling through the mud and finally understanding what grief is like. Some criticism about this version was that McDowell was to old for the part of jimmy, I didn't find it as I was able to suspend disbelief as the acting is very good. I would buy this version of it was on DVD.
The Rainbow (1989)
I voice the same sentiments
This film features two very Strong leads and They were not ashamed to have equality in all things even sex as the men did. Those not familiar with these times a women could be a Married or an old maid. As for work teacher,actress,nurse,novelist,strumpet or Nun were the varied career choices. As for what women had to say well it was re-expression of the views or opinions of the husband or father.( see Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House)
As it is an art film it has some fornication and nudity scenes that some moralists will find pornographic for it is "pleasures of the flesh".
This is a prequel to Women in Love. neat Point,in the story Gudrun Brangwen mothers', Anna Brangwen played is played Glenda Jackson who played Gudrun Brangwen in Women in Love.
So if you like period film get both movies and have a double feature.
