A very good, visually stunning film with undeniable flashes of genius. Looked at as a series of scenes it's perhaps as good as anything he ever made.

Ken Russell is always interesting. Even when the 80's meant bizarre appreciation for amateur acting and cinematic styles. (camp aesthetics?) This is bit too much to bear. But I enjoyed it's badness.

Charming period drama adaptation smartly capturing innocence and its corruption.

Girl meets predatory PE teacher, who marries the girls uncle? Yup, it must be a DH Lawrence story. The characters are what make this film so watchable - Jim Carter as the sadistic schoolteacher, Dudley Sutton as the artist, Amanda Donohoe as the PE teacher... The pace slows down once Paul Mc Gann's drippy soldier appears on the scene. Russell's direction can be a little bit schlocky at times: in the sex scene between Ursula and her soldier, horror-movie music swells as the couple's moans are intercut with images of the full moon, for example. And as for Glenda Jackson, her 'foot o' the stairs' accent was reminiscent of the Monty Python 'Coal Miner' sketch.

This Flixster entry is all messed up. The BBC mini-series of 1988 and the Ken Russell film of 1989 are actually completely differenet works, but Flixster has managed to co-mingle them. My rating is of the Ken Rusell film, which although not as good a his earlier Women in Love, fills in the Ursula back story quite nicely. Having Glenda Jackson play Anna Brangwen, Ursuala and Gudrun's mother is a nice touch, linking to her portrayal of Gudrun in Women in Love.
