Director
Ken Russell
Made Women in Love and Tommy and a series of composer biographies that outraged the BBC. Restraint was never on the table.
Henry Kenneth Alfred Russell was a British film director known for his pioneering work in television and film, and for his flamboyant and controversial style. His films were mainly liberal adaptations of existing texts, or biographies, notably of composers of the Romantic era. Russell began directing for the BBC, where he made creative adaptations of composers' lives which were unusual for the time. He also directed many feature films independently and for studios.
