Various wonderful films, but I have a particular thing for ZPG (Zero Population Growth).

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

Hi,

THE DEVILS is his best work ever ... though it's hard not to enjoy him alone in an island with Amanda Donohue, later ... he was great there, too!

I found The Four Musketeers highly entertaining (probably because I saw it as a teen in the theater).

The Devils comes in second because the book, The Devils of Loudun by Aldous Huxley, is far better.

Hi,

I kinda think that it is his best film, specially as a biography, probably because the book was so strong and worth a read. There was no need for a Ken Russell moment, as the book had most of it anyway, though in the film you now get the visuals, and they are well done and far out.

Compared to many of the other biographies Ken Russell did, he spent a lot of time writing them, and then colored it in his own way, and probably the one that is also really good, and has no funny moments is "Savage Messiah", which is totally subtle (I did not know the artist at all when I saw the film!!!) and ends with a really nice show of the work by the artist.

I also find The Hunting Party worthy of mention, where Oliver is restrained and builds a character, layer upon layer, until he bares his inner self. He touches different nerves, and is brilliantly accompanied by Gene Hackman and Candice Bergen. A non-classical Western, very contemporary and with multiple interpretations. While Women in Love (which is on the other list) and The Devils are among my favorites, this is, in my opinion, one of the gems of his filmography.

Hi,

I have to look for this and watch it ... I'm not even sure I have ever seen this film ... in general, westerns started and stopped with "The Wild Bunch" for me ... and I stayed away from this ... other than being a part of a group of folks in the Theater Department at SBCC and doing a trip to the drive in once a month or so, when Guy Guden would do all the vocals for the Italian Spaghetti stuff ... which had us all in stitches the whole time. A special time it was.

I was remembering that there is still a film about Oliver with Marcello Mastroiani directed by Dino Risi, in English it was called Dirty Weekend, from 1972.

A wild police film with a lot of comedy, and politically incorrect, where roles are called into question, and nothing is what it seems, Oliver is amazing, and as was so common in the 70s, these collaborations of actors in another country resulted in a different performance, another alchemy.
