01. We have heard what others thought of Ken's "The Devils." Now, we hear from the man himself.
02. In III parts, from the Q&A at Toronto's Bloor Cinema on August 29, 2014.
03. What is significant about this date is that it occurred after Ken's house in The New Forest was totally destroyed in a house fire. Mention of which is made in the Q&A session.
04. While the greatest loss was Ken's, we all lost, as so much of the material Ken had collected over the years for his films, was lost in the fire.
05. (Audience applause)
06. "The Devils" can never be duplicated, but . . .?! It'd be interesting to see how a different director would handle the material.
07. Oliver Reed's "unique" performance, according to Ken, should have earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Actor, according to someone in the audience.
08. An audience member asks Ken about his views on reality, as his films show such a sense of "heightened reality," but his answer is so blurred, that I cannot understand what he is saying.
09. Ken's films may reflect an "heightened reality," but . . .?! If you look at his films, . . .
the events in . . .
the biographical films
the backstage scenes in . . .
"The Boyfriend"
the relationships in . . .
"The Lair of the White Worm"
They reflect real happenings in the real world.
