"Women in Love" must have seemed very daring and original in 1969. Five decades on it's horribly dated and self-important — corny, even. It's a bunch of stilted characters waxing philosophic about Art and Life and Love, without managing to gain a lasting insight into any. Based on the 1920 novel by D.H. Lawrence, it's very much a product of the 1960s, more concerned with breaking boundaries than finding anything meaningful on the other side.
