In other news, Ken Russell is dead. One of the more crazy filmmakers - camp, shock and historical inaccuracies abound. Gonna miss him even though I only saw one or two films by him a long time ago. "Tommy" was like a trip on acid and I faintly remember that my reaction to the second one (can't remember what it was exactly: "Music Lovers"? "Women in Love"? although it might have also been "Altered States". Hmm...) was along the lines of WTF? O_o
Still, one of those directors with instantly recognisable style and a wonderful ability to surprise a viewer. Maybe it's time to re-watch some of his works (and again wonder WTF?).
Also, I've just been looking through his filmography on IMDb and lo and behold, Russell also made "Shelagh Delaney's Salford" for TV in 1960. Heh, talk about coincidences.
