    Some of the finest scenes ever made and some of the most pretentious crap ever. Sometimes in the same film.

    Never boring.

    Check out "The Devils," "Tommy," and "Lisztomania." Weird but a really interestingly creative director.

      Altered States, The Lair of the White Worm, Mahler, The Music Lovers (based on the life of Tchaikovsky), Salomes last Dance (Oscar Wilde)
      The last 2 starring Glenda Jackson who was a great British actress at that time
      Excellent acting and some stunning individual scenes do not always salvage the films; but they are all worth a look; he never gets maudlin or boring
      Ken Russells work is approached from a very British perspective which gives him less universal appeal, than say, Kubrick
