Two impecunious straight guys sharing a one
bedroom apartment and coming down from a four day bender . . .
and Ken Russel's surprisingly wonderful Women in Love.
Let's just say that if it weren't for the fact
that my roomate and I share a huge height disparity (he is 6'7"
and I am like niner short) and we are both too fucking lazy to
wrestle, well, we both would have been going the gay way this
weekend. Brilliantly written, with deep and sensitively drawn
characters, exquisitely sensual imagery, and a subversive edge
courtesy of some well placed homoerotic voyeurism, Women in Love
is both a loving homage and a cheeky satire of D.H. Lawrence --
and damn near perfect film making to boot, a real treasure.
