Women in Love (2011) (DVD) BBC Home Entertainment brings this lush, beautiful adaptation of the D.H. Lawrence classic to DVD 4/16, just in time for Mothers Day! Rosamund Pike (Jack Reacher, Die Another Day) and Rachael Stirling (Young Victoria, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen) star in this powerful adaptation of D.H. Lawrences novel. Following the banning of his earlier novel, The Rainbow, D.H. Lawrence shocked his 1920 audience yet again with Women in Love. Combining some elements of both novels, this adaptation focuses on the lives of two sisters, Ursula and Gudrun Brangwen, as they struggle with their own loves, desires and passions and relationships with two friends, Rupert Birkin and Gerald Crich.

They take after their mother (Saskia Reeves), who regrets the lack of passion in her marriage with their father (Shaun Acker). "Find love," she advises Ursula, "that burns your very soul." Their experiences find male counterpoint in two figures that play more significant roles in the miniseries second half: industrialist Gerald Crich (Joseph Mawle), a ladies man, and school inspector Rupert Birkin (Rory Kinnear), a more sensitive type. After they return from World War I, Gerald sets his sights on Gudrun, who resists
