Ken Russell

Another genius gone. Obituary
I loved his films. Nearly all of them are worth seeing. He always pushed the boundaries as well as having great visual flair.
Personal favorites - Women In Love, The Music Lovers, Savage Messiah, Altered States and, of course, The Devils, One of the best examinations of the idea that Christian sexual repression leads to madness and cruelty I've ever seen. Reichian in it's vision.
(And we're still waiting for an uncensored version)
But see it anyway. It's still great.
