Returning to Ken Russell.

Lisztomania (1975),

Hilarious, eye-popping, lewd, fantastic imagining of episodes from Liszt's life.

If the sight of Rick Wakeman as a Frankenstein creature dressed as Marvel's Thor raised by a vampire Wagner sounds interesting, this film may be just what you are looking for.

Loved Ringo Starr's popemobile.

1 really, enormous penis.

Valentino (1977),

More sober (though it still has it's moments) biopic.

Stars Rudolf Nureyev as the other Rudy and he fits the role perfectly.

Looks beautiful and Ken has a real feel for the period he is evoking (he even has a cameo role as an OTT film director who's bizarre imagery is described as BS).

10, 000 powder puffs.
