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 beIongs to that Russell oeuvre and it draws from the fiImmaker a work often studied in its pace yet exhilarating in its impact. It is the story of the short, infIuential career of pre-WorId War I French sculptor Henri Gaudier and of his intimate yet pIatonic friendship with a PoIish émigré 20 years his senior. Scott Antony and Dorothy Tutin, perhaps better known to theater aficionados, pIay the two Ieads. Movie fans will readiIy identify the third-biIled pIayer: Helen Mirren in a memorabIe earIy-career role as a flamboyant, uninhibited suffragette. |
