Altered States.. One of my all time favourite films. Ken didn't fuck with Paddy Chayefsky's text or story line.

RIP Ken

Ken Russell made some brilliant films and managed, somehow, to bring aspects of culture to wider audiences.

He wasn't very good on Celebrity Big Brother though.

^ amen to that.

and if you like this sort of thing, the lovely Blair Brown can be seen in the highly underrated Fringe, which is greatly good.

RIP Dane Searls

Such a shame.

RIP Gary Speed, really unexpected.

Completely, strange how he looked fine on TV Saturday, he must have really bottled it up.

...and if you like this sort of thing, the lovely Blair Brown can be seen in the highly underrated Fringe, which is greatly good.

I once had the distinct pleasure of working with Blair once. I could not stop myself gushing* over her and how I loved her performance in Altered States

RIP Ken

Love (most of) your films Ken Russell
Thank you

His television dramatisations about the Lakeland poets, helped to explain Coleridge to me in a way that my English teacher failed in two years of A Level classes. His Mahler was also very helpful to someone like me who has no understanding of music. Tommy. The Billion Dollar Brain.

A very versatile director.

he also took some striking photographs:

From his Teddy Girls series

The Boyfriend with Twiggy
