A celebration of the work of Ken Russell. A portrait of the man and his art from the 1950s to the great films of the 1960s and 1970s, the cult films of the 1980s, through to the digital short films with which he ended his career. Talking About Ken Russell includes hundreds of exclusive interviews with Russell and the people who worked with him, and includes, for example, the first-hand testimonies of more than a dozen people who worked on Women in Love, and twenty-three members of the cast and crew of The Devils. Actors, editors, designers, continuity women, producers, assistants, special effects artists, composers, sound recordists, and the camera crews, all recall their working days with Ken Russell. In addition to these interviews, Paul Sutton adds choice finds from his ten-year research into Russell’s careers in photography, film and opera, and uncovers a treasure trove of previously unknown material. This book aims to shine new light on the popular masterpieces and bring to the fore lesser-known works that should be better-known. Lavishly illustrated.
