Geschichte
Ursula Brangwen, born to a wealthy landowner during the twilight of the Victorian era, grows into a vibrant young woman with grand ambitions and a fierce imagination. Feeling constrained by her prim surroundings, Ursula's life takes a dramatic turn when she shares an erotic encounter with Winifred, a bisexual teacher. This experience ignites Ursula's passion for sexual fulfillment, which she pursues fervently. However, her relentless quest also brings her anguish. Meanwhile, in pastoral England around the time of the Boer War, Ursula attempts to make her way as a teacher but finds little satisfaction. She embarks on an affair with an army officer who wishes to marry her. Unable to envision a future tied down by domesticity, Ursula continues her search for personal fulfillment and her true destiny.
Zusammenfassung
'Rainbow' (1989), directed by Ken Russell, is a loose adaptation of the final part of D.H. Lawrence's eponymous novel. Set against the backdrop of late Victorian England and the Boer War, the film follows Ursula Brangwen as she navigates her journey towards self-discovery and sexual awakening. The story explores Ursula's disillusionment with her initial career choice in teaching, her scandalous affair with a young army officer, and her ultimate rejection of conventional domesticity. Ken Russell's signature style, with its vivid imagery and provocative themes, brings to life the complexities of Ursula's character and her quest for personal freedom.
