Ken Russell: A Bit of a Devil is this fascinating documentary that dives into the life of the flamboyant director. It’s got this reflective tone, almost melancholic, given Russell's recent passing. Alan Yentob really captures the essence of Russell's unique style. Friends and collaborators offer these heartfelt anecdotes, which give us insight into his creative process. You’ve got Glenda Jackson and Terry Gilliam reminiscing about his ambitious projects like Women In Love and Tommy. It’s not just a career overview; it's a tapestry of his influences and the wild, sometimes chaotic atmosphere he created. The pacing is pretty relaxed, which works well for the theme of remembrance. A great piece for anyone interested in the intersections of art and madness in cinema.
