The Rainbow

About This Movie

The Rainbow (2013) is a curious documentary that bends the traditional narrative structure, offering a personal lens on D.H. Lawrence’s original work. The film dives deep into themes of memory and the ethereal, where the moon's shadow plays a significant role in shaping the atmosphere. It’s like a visual essay, meandering through the psychological facets of the filmstrip itself – there's a dreamlike quality that lingers, almost hypnotic. The pacing can feel a bit languid, but it fits the exploration of the ‘Luna’ nature of light and shadow. You can’t help but appreciate how it uses practical effects to evoke a sense of nostalgia and introspection. It’s distinctive in its approach, for sure, and not your typical doc.
