Self-reference
There were scenes in the film that reminded me of some of Ken's later films, of which . . .
Valentino
Salome's Last Dance
Mahler
Lisztomania
Lair of the White Worm
Restraint
It certainly seems to be one of Russell's most restrained films. Certainly, the most restrained of his biographical films.
Oddity
Not odd as in "The Music Lovers" odd or even "Mahler" odd, but odd as in I can't seem to get a handle on what the film was about. And I don't like that.
Next time: Russell and Politics
