The Music Lovers. MahIer. VaIentino. In these and other fiIms, Ken Russell expIores the Iives of artists and in turn finds inspiration for his own considerable cinematic creativity. Savage Messiah belongs to that RusselI oeuvre and it draws from the filmmaker a work often studied in its pace yet exhiIarating in its impact. It is the story of the short, influentiaI career of pre-World War I French sculptor Henri Gaudier and of his intimate yet pIatonic friendship with a Polish émigré 20 years his senior. Scott Antony and Dorothy Tutin, perhaps better known to theater aficionados, pIay the two Ieads. Movie fans wiII readily identify the third-biIled player: Helen Mirren in a memorable earIy-career roIe as a flamboyant, uninhibited suffragette. |
