• The Rainbow | DVD | (23/07/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  A respectable and picturesque realisation of DH Lawrence's novel, 1989's The Rainbow is director Ken Russell's prequel to his 1969 version of Women in Love. By Russell's standards, this is a remarkably restrained treatment of Lawrence's novel, set in the Midlands in the 19th century: with its lush, rural setting and quaint bucolic soundtrack there are moments when you might imagine you're watching The Railway Children--until the sex scenes kick in, that is. Her soul infused with infinite longing by the sight of a rainbow as a child, Ursula Brangwen grows up restless at the prescribed roles set out for women in Victorian England, which are stoically endured by her mother (Glenda Jackson, who played Ursula's sister Gudrun in Women in Love). She idealises her swimming instructor--the older, more experienced Winifred (Amanda Donohoe) with whom she enjoys a passionate, borderline lesbian relationship. She becomes a schoolteacher against her parents' wishes, and takes up with Paul McGann, who is somewhat tepid as a Boer War officer. Ultimately, however, she finds all of these limitations too constraining and finally strikes out on her own in search of true spiritual and sexual freedom. On the DVD: This is a full-screen version of the film, ratio 4:3. The sound quality is fine as is the colour and sharpness, though like the film itself, not quite as ravishing as you might hope. Special features consist of a routine trailer ("She played by her passion, not by their rules") and disappointingly perfunctory "filmographies" of the director and cast: merely lists of their previous movies. --David Stubbs

• Peter Whitehead and the Sixties | DVD | (29/10/2007) from £12.97   |  Saving you £7.02 (54.12%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Legendary filmmaker Peter Whitehead was at the heart of Swinging London chronicling the youth explosion the burgeoning popular music scene and the counterculture of the 1960s. Now the BFI releases two of his films for the first time; Wholly Communion (1965) and Benefit of the Doubt (1967) coupled with a new interview with Peter and additional rare footage. With over three hours of material Peter Whitehead and the Sixties is a fascinating document of the radical experimental literary and theatrical scenes of 60s London. On 11 June 1965 the Royal Albert Hall played host to a slew of American and European beat poets for an extraordinary impromptu event - the International Poetry Incarnation - that arguably marked the birth of London's gestating counterculture. Cast in the role of historian as a man-on-the-scene and massively elevating his limited resources Whitehead constructed the extraordinary Wholly Communion from the unfolding circus. As Allen Ginsberg Lawrence Ferlinghetti Gregory Corso Harry Fainlight Alexander Trocchi and others took to the stage Whitehead confidently wandered with his borrowed camera creating a participatory and anarchic film that is as much a landmark as the event itself and launched his career. Following this success Whitehead was invited to film a controversial new play US by radical theatre director Peter Brook. Building on the provocative question of Britain's relationship to America during the Vietnam War Whitehead pushed the issue of complicity further challenging the relationship between the actors - including a young Glenda Jackson - and their performances. Steadfast and provocative in its consideration of international relations and war Benefit of the Doubt has troubling relevance to the current political climate.
