Ken Russell the Music Lover: Music and Images – The Art of Britain’s Greatest Filmmaker | Various Artists

Description

Cover Notes: Anthology of music from the films of director Ken Russell; the enfant terrible of British cinema. Drawn from his groundbreaking films of the ’60s and ’70s including the enormously popular Elgar – Portrait of a Composer. Russell’s work is uncompromising and controversial. He directed Tommy for The Who in characteristic bravura style, while the much-banned Devils upset the establishment – 50 years on, the director’s cut is still considered too blasphemous for public consumption.
