The Law of Enclosures is a 2000 Canadian drama film. It was written and directed by John Greyson, and based on the novel The Law of Enclosures by Dale Peck. The story traces the marital relationship of Henry and Beatrice, characters based on Peck's real-life parents, over the course of their lives from their courtship as young adults to their 40th wedding anniversary. For the film adaptation, Greyson set the events in 1991 against the backdrop of the first Gulf War, with Henry and Beatrice's younger and older selves all coexisting in a single time frame.
