Ken Russell, RIP

[MOCAŠ]

Director Ken Russell, who did more than most to bring together the worlds of cimena and music, died yesterday, aged 84.

Though best known for The Devils and Women in Love, he also directed The Who's rock-opera, Tommy, and made several well-regarded biopics of composers, including Lizst, Mahler, Delius, Elgar and Tchaikovsky.
