Ken Russell was not just a genius, he was one of my favourite film-makers, and the world is a poorer place without him. It was hard to choose one of my favourite clips from his films, which out of context wouldn't have offended someone.
Corinna vetoed me posting the 'conversion to Catholicism' scene from
Mahler and the 'Ann Margret in the baked beans' scene from
Tommy, and I didn't even attempt to run the 'Richard Wagner as a cross between Hitler and Frankenstein' scene from
Lisztomania past her. God help me when it comes to doing a bloggo tribute to John Waters....
