Twitter Capsule: Arrestingly shot, if a tad stagy at times. Committed throughout to Lawrence's ideas, yet evokes a mind of its own.

VOR: ③  Not a title on many people's lips these days, but distinctive and valuable as an approach to Lawrence: less florid than Women in Love, less becalmed than Lady Chatterley.
