The Music Lovers (Russell, 1970): Prince Charles Cinema, 6.05pm
This 35mm screening is part of a mini Ken Russell season at the Prince Charles Cinema. Full details can be found here.
Chicago Reader review:
This Ken Russell fantasia—musical biography as wet dream—hangs together
more successfully than his other similar efforts, thanks largely to a
powerhouse performance by Glenda Jackson, one actress who can hold her
own against Russell's excess. Richard Chamberlain stars as a befuddled,
banal-minded Tchaikovsky, who imagines the cannon fire of the 1812 Overture
aimed at the heads of his enemies.
