A young woman deals with the trials of adolescence and young adulthood in early 1900s England.
The Boy Friend
1960s superstar fashion model Twiggy and Broadway dancing star Tommy Tune headline Ken Russel's lovingly comic homage to the Hollywood musicals of the 1930s in The Boy Friend. When the star of an English stage musical twists her ankle seconds before the curtain goes up, shy, young assistant stage manager Polly (Twiggy) takes her place. Now, the show goes on as Polly sings and dances her way through a kaleidoscope of psychedelic interpretations of choreographer Busby Berkeley's classic musical numbers. While an audience watches, Polly finds love and stardom before the curtain comes down on The Boy Friend.
The Rainbow (1989)
Ken Russell's sensuous film version of DH Lawrence's "The Rainbow." Set in the Midlands of Victorian England, The Rainbow tells the story of a rebellious young woman who, after defying her parents and society's morality, engages in an unbridled and passionate affair first with her beautiful schoolteacher, then with a fascinating young soldier, before setting out on her own to capture the fuller sensuality of life itself.
The Boy Friend
1960-tallets superstjerne Twiggy og Broadway-dansestjerna Tommy Tune er hovedrolleinnehaverne i Ken Russels herlige komiske hyllest til Hollywood-musikalene fra 1930-tallet i The Boy Friend. Når en engelsk musikalstjerne vrikker ankelen sekunder før teppet går opp, tar den sjenerte, unge regiassistenten Polly (Twiggy) hennes plass. Forestillingen fortsetter mens Polly synger og danser sin vei gjennom et kaleidoskop av psykedeliske tolkninger av koreograf Busby Berkeleys klassiske musikalnumre. Mens publikum ser på, finner Polly kjærlighet og berømmelse før teppet går ned i The Boy Friend.
