When I was a young teenager, I snuck into a theater that was playing “Tommy,” and was blown away by it. That scene with Ann Margaret rolling around in baked beans was unbelievable. I saw “the devil, “for the first time and was similarly blown away. That is an amazing movie.

Thank You for thia video, Brother! ❤️🎬🙌🏼

Does anyone know where to find the devils to watch/ stream?

immediately when i clicked this video i recognised the Main Theme of Taxi Driver 😭. Great choice of soundtrack

I always feel sad when the credits roll on both movies. It's like the great and eventful nights portrayed in the movies are over, like the real passing of time. It feels like something's lost, even though I can start the movie again.

Great video. I will deep dive these for sure. Thank u.

YES! The car was a right of passage! Our jesuit priest would give us an off campus pass when we turned 16 to go out and get our drivers license..we would come back to class and wave it high above our heads and receive cheers! ...

I graduated in the 70s.....it saddens me that the youths no longer can enjoy the personal growth and adventures WITHOUT A SMART PHONE!

Beautiful video essay. Thank you.

Liar of the white worm, The boyfriend and The rainbow are some of my favorite films!

Great movie. Other great movies going back in time. Peggy Sue got married. Pleasant Ville, Rebel without a cause, Black board jungle, King creole.

amazingly well written, too often video essays are drawn out boring summaries. feels like a grand advert for a grand advert of mishima.

One of my Top Ten Favorite Filmmakers, right up there with Kubrick, Kurosawa and Cronenberg!

Ken was a legend..'Lair of the white worm' was one of my favourites..based on Bram Stoker's last novel,Ken made an average book into a great film..also worth mentioning 'Rainbow' and 'Salome's Last Dance'

i loved the campy lair of the white worm and solome's last dance

Great picture!

I am looking for a horror movie from 1970's or 1980's, where the killer uses pay phones to call a goth punk rock T.V. dance show with live hard rock band and live dancers. Killer moves through the city killing people and calling the goth rock dance show inbetween kills.The host of the show ends up being the killer's mother. The killer calls the show between muders. The dancers dance the same dance through entire movie, they dance like zombies. The rock band plays the entire song through whole entire movie. The guitar riff for the song is really good and pretty heavy. The song was in Eb E flat. The movie starts out with punks packed in a car going to the rock T.V. show and the band playing that killer riff. FR. The movie is from the 1970's or early 1980's. I think it was 1970's because I couldnt believe that cool heavy riff could have existed. Or maybe I am mistaken and it was early 1980's

LOKI IS MARRIED TO THE BIRACIAL ACTRESS IRL!!!!!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

I love that there are so few cuts and close ups in his films. It makes them calming to the senses.

His works are magnificent, and so is your video. The visuals are sublime... I also liked the music you chose (Pace mio dio, sang by Maria Callas). Thank you.

There aren't any rock stars in The Devils. Apparently you mistook Michael Gothard for John Lennon.

Thanks for vid! Hope everyone has a blessed year 😊 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

Technology does not make it revolutionary Polished Slick middle class petty bourgeois bull shit hype

"The Devils" and "The Music Lovers" are two of my favourite films of the 70`s. "Women In Love" and "Altered States" are remarkable at opposite ends of the Russell spectrum. I love his work, and miss him. Thank you for this overview of a unique talent.

Great stuff! Thanks!

Such a good video, but such a short one. Only 5 movies?

Wow after rewatch and rewatch, you picked up on subtleties I have never noticed. Love that

Interesting analysis. I love Andersons work and also recommend the work of Finnish director Aki Kaurism””æååAåß∂`Ω≈©˙∆˚¬ø^¨¨¥¥††®®œœ∑∑´´®®†ƒΩ≈çç√√∫∫~~~µµµµ≤≤≤≤≤≥≥÷÷÷æ««‘“πøπø^˚¬…∆µ~˙ ©∫√ç√ç ççç≈≈≈≈≈≈œ∑´´®®®††©††¥˙˙˙~~∆∆∆˚˚ kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXexaYeZe5WkfLcsi=QnCZ-bTmUwg2ngww

fantastic excellence I also see subdued essence of Chagall in andersons framing Often a door or window or bridge whereby one may escape.

Well done 👍🏼

I was looking for a video on The Devils and I couldn’t have asked for a better video!!! This has brought me so much joy and made me so happy and inspired! Can’t thank you enough. Subscribed/obsessed

A beautifully powerful film whose Philip Glass soundtrack creates an unforgettably unique experience. Tops.

I had to watch this for a film class and f, it was so weird.

I went to an all boys high school during the 80's and hated every minute of it. Sadistic Priests who would lash or punish us and banned music deemed satanic by them. My high school days sucked for me. Hated every minute of it and would not want to relive it. However, when I went away to Canada as an International student and experienced the heavy metal and grunge scene over there did I really miss those days in my life. Best days of my life was from 1990 to 1995 more or less. My days in Canada after high school. Now, my nostalgia is for that time. Screw high school days!! Meant nothing to me.

Does anyone know the song at 1:35? It's really annoying me

It´s interesting that the first Bruegel painting which you show at two minute mark (The Hunters in the Snow) is also the first of 24 frames in final movie of Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami. Two distinctive and unique filmmakers apparently shared the same inspiration. Two of my three favourite directors, the other one being Werner Herzog. Thanks for your video!

Excellent and inspiring. thank you.

Excellent thanks ❤

A wonderful video portraying the amazing controversal films that Ken Russell directed.

One challenging film maker, have to be in the right frame of mind to watch with all its stunning, brutal compositions that can put you in a trance. Really enjoyed the comparisons to artists (Grosz, Hopper) that one might expect but the Bruegel comparison, was a lesson in itself. Thanks. Subscribed.

I could say you could put fast times at ridgemont high too

Great video essay 👍

Imagine my surprise when looking up conversations on Roy Andersson and I find that you had a media analysis channel before Ordinary Things. Thank you for this, it was a way more insightful video than I expected to find.

Schrader`s inimitable film is a fascinating contrast, and melding of cultural and artistic styles. Ken Ogata`s portrayal is filled with both emotional intensity and detached alienation, it is as enigmatic as the man himself. Mishima is my favourite novelist, I remember how thrilled I was when I heard a film of his life was going to be made. In the years since Mishima`s death I wondered whether Nagisa Oshima would be the director to bring his story to the screen, the influence of Mishima is so strong in Oshima`s wonderful film "Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence" . Paul Schrader was a surprising frontrunner to tell this tale, I thought so till I saw his film "Cat People" which seemed thematically and texturally to share a similarity with Mishima`s own aesthetic, indeed early in the film a scanning shot shows a copy of a Mishima biography lying on the bedside table of one of the leading characters. Mishima was a man of masks, he once said "Anyone who wishes to know me should read my books" Schrader concentrates on the writer, and the imaginings of his fiction, in highly stylised, and intensely colourised chapter excerpts. The contrast of styles does so much to take us into the creative worlds of Mishima`s imaginings. This is an extraordinary biopic, Schrader eschews the binary narrative of lineal progression, a series of vignettes, and excerpts from Mishima`s major novels, reveal the themes and complex preoccupations of a conflicted artist, and obsessively driven man. The film is a visual wonder to behold, John Bailey`s luminous photography, Eike Ishioka`s exquisite set designs, Michael Chandler and Tomoyo Oshima`s incisive editing, allied to a wonderful Philip Glass soundtrack, and first and foremost Paul Schrader`s visual eye, creative aesthetic, and compositional innovativeness. A wonderful film. I agree, Schrader`s Masterpiece.

Spill blood to freeze youthful beauty forever in time.

what a brilliant video essay!!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I’d like to see a movie like this made about 1996, the end of the off line era and the dawn on the online era.

Well done! I still need to see the Boyfriend
