Weird day so only had time to watch Ken Russell's interpretation of Holst's OP.32 The Planets Suite.
He does this using mostly found material from adverts and documentaries etc but with a few especially filmed sequences.
My favourite movement is Saturn: The Bringer Of Old Age.
It opens with a city graveyard with the tomb stones mirrored with skyscrapers.
He then represents entropy with motor cars both in traffic jams and wreckers yards and then with a production line and the toxic effects of the production line on the natural environment.
The message being that all things new must return to dust (or in this case rust).
Top marks for doing Mars : The Bringer Of War without actually showing much in the way of actual war footage (at the request of Holst's daughter)
7 Worlds.
Bingowings was this on t.v. ?.
