Hope and Glory (1987). Bill, a young boy living on the outskirts of London experiences the exhilaration of World War II. During this period, Bill learns about sex, death, love, hypocrisy, and the faults of adults as he prowls the ruins of bombed houses.

A really compelling exercise in memory and manages to marry the playfulness of childhood with the brutality of war and the London Blitz pretty seamlessly. I don't know if I loved it exactly, but it pulled me in and I think the sense of family survival both as a unit and as individuals with their own pre-and-post war identities was richly drawn. 8/10.

Für Ken-Russell-Verhältnisse ist The Rainbow eine total gediegene Romanverfilmung. Nicht, daß es nicht skandalös wäre, Nacktheit, Sex, bisexuelle Verführerinnen, uneheliche Kinder und David Hemmings, alles geboten, was man sich für eine Junges-Mädchen-wird-erwachsen-Geschichte so braucht, aber es ist auf besonders nette Art skandalös, und die Familie ist viel verständisvoller, als sonst üblich.  Es ist die Vorgeschichte von  D. H. Lawrences späterem Roman, aber Russells früherem Film Women in Love (vergl. hier), in dem Glenda Jackson die Enkelin der Person spielt, die sie hier spielt.
