The first half has the right kind of

The first half has the right kind of wild, surreal energy (I like that from its first seconds the movie announces it has no interest in historical accuracy or good taste) but it becomes more labored and a bit boring in the second. At a certain point Russell's use of Nazi imagery seems less like a coherent thesis and more like an attempt to force meaning and commentary into this mess.

Director Ken Russell made some monumentally bad movies

Director Ken Russell made some monumentally bad movies over the course of his career, but at the top of his dung heap of cinematic garbage, one movie sits alone – Lisztomania. The film features Roger Daltrey as Franz Liszt, the 19th century Hungarian composer. There really is no plot to speak of as the movie is more a series of set pieces that may or may not be related to anything Liszt actually did during his life. It is filled with bad writing, bad acting, bad sets, annoying editing and enough phallic symbols to make you think it was thrown together by a horny 12-year-old schoolboy. There are a lot of movies out there that are entertainingly bad. Lizstomania isn't one of them. It is irritatingly bad and makes you wonder what the point of it all was. And that's the rub – there is no point.

A spiritual follow up to Tommy. This feels like it gets lost in the madness but with some great music plus beautiful costumes and production design
