Dive into the erotic, visual excess of Ken Russell's 1969 cinematic landmark. Set against the backdrop of a stifling 1920s mining town, sisters Ursula (Jennie Linden) and Gudrun (Glenda Jackson) defy social convention to seek radical new experiences of intimacy.
The film follows two volatile pairs: Ursula seeks a transcendent spiritual balance with the idealistic Rupert (Alan Bates), while Gudrun enters a brutal, magnetic power struggle with the industrial heir Gerald (Oliver Reed). From its famously transgressive nude wrestling scene to its haunting, snow-swept finale in the Alps, Women in Love captures a fever dream of human desire.
