6 Desires: DH Lawrence and Sardinia

Out of his visit to the island of Sardinia in 1921, D.H. Lawrence wrote a travel book called Sea and Sardinia that described the land and its people’s timeless essence. Some 90-plus years later, film critic and director Mark Cousins goes to the island to understand the place and the celebrated author. But instead of using the written word, Cousins relies on images and on Jarvis Cocker providing Lawrence’s voice. (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria International Film Festival)
