CARRINGTON (1995)

Carrington, a female painter, falls in love with the gay author Lytton Strachey, and together they create a relationship without boundaries.  This boundless love leads Carrington into several love affairs with other men, but it does not wreck Carrington and Lytton's strong affection for one another.  Unconditionally Carrington displays her devotion and respect for Lytton who is reciprocal in his loyalty to their relationship.  However, the other men in Carrington's life are not as understanding as Lytton as they demand something in return for their love for Carrington.  It is these demands that prevent Carrington from developing her other relationships as she has done with Lytton.  Carrington is a fabulous narrative of Dora Carrington's life as it displays her life along with her strengths, which offers a good cinematic experience.
