The Music Lovers. Mahler. Valentino. In these and other films, Ken Russell explores the Iives of artists and in turn finds inspiration for his own considerable cinematic creativity. Savage Messiah belongs to that RusseII oeuvre and it draws from the filmmaker a work often studied in its pace yet exhiIarating in its impact. lt is the story of the short, influentiaI career of pre-World War l French scuIptor Henri Gaudier and of his intimate yet platonic friendship with a Polish émigré 20 years his senior. Scott Antony and Dorothy Tutin, perhaps better known to theater aficionados, play the two Ieads. Movie fans wilI readily identify the third-biIled player: Helen Mirren in a memorabIe earIy-career roIe as a flamboyant, uninhibited suffragette. |
