I'm not really sure about his psychic powers but he is a very charismatic and friendly chap I've met, a real gentleman
I asked him a lot about the film as I was curious. He told me had asked for Ken to direct specifically as he was a big fan of his films in the 70s especially Tommy IIRC. Although He had originally wanted Nic Roeg with David Bowie in the Terrence Stamp role . He like the finished film a lot and talked about it enthusiastically but couldn't understand the occassional moments of unpleasantness like the needle through the finger. He also had reservations about how Ken was drinking a bottle of wine a day and he felt this affected the film.
He asked for my address and later sent me a signed copy of the video-like I say a real gentleman
I've always felt that for late Russell (which can be just awful) it's rather good but these prior events probably affect me.
