series A Quick One, While The Who’s in Town
Directed by Ken Russell | 1975
With Oliver Reed, Ann-Margret, Roger Daltrey, Elton John, Eric Clapton
“Ken Russell makes movies the way another man might design a ride through a funhouse.”
—Vincent Canby, New York Times
After tackling the musical legacies of Tchaikovsky and Liszt, Ken Russell turned his attention to what he deemed “the greatest work of art the twentieth century has produced”: The Who’s rock opera Tommy. A perfect canvas for Russell’s maximalist style, Tommy follows a deaf, dumb, and blind child who defies the odds to become a pinball wiz and unwitting spiritual guru.
