5 out of 5 stars 'Forget the Immortal's, Go Out Into the Fields and Hear the Music of Nature'   November 1, 2008

'Ken Russell at the BBC' is an extra-ordinary dvd box-set. In it are some of the great mans greatest works, scandalously only released in the US on R1.(in one fell swoop, the obscene amount I paid for a multi-region dvd player has been rendered money superbly spent.)br /'Song of Summer' is possibly the finest, most inspiring film ever made about a composer. 'Dante's Inferno' and 'the Debussy Film' both have a simmer/bellow/simmer/bellow performance from Oliver Reed. 'Isadora' is better than the Vanessa Redgrave film version. 'Always on a Sunday' has a real-life French realist painter being played by a real-life Yorkshire realist painter,(!) and 'Elgar' was the first music bio to feature actors, though compromised by them only being seen in long-shot. br /30 seconds to read and 477 minutes to look, listen and be immersed.br /Possibly the most essential collection of BBC films ever assembled in one place (outside of their vaults of course). Imaginative, unique, mystical, lyrical, anti-cliche, anti-intellectual, funny, sad, moving, haunting and not one frame could've been shot by any-one else.br /Not one blistering, believable, fevered performance could've been prised out of the superb casts by any-one else.br /Not one film-maker in the history of tv OR film has been SO on the side of his audience.br /No other 80 year old man could sit on a park bench and be so mesmerising and deliriously enthusiastic about films he made over 40 years ago, and if I was to type 'til I was 80, I would not come close to properly assessing his work on this dvd set.br /There are other's involved; Melvyn Bragg writes a couple of creditable scripts, Huw Wheldon writes and narrates the excellent commentary for 'Elgar' and there's some fine work from Dick Bush - the greatest ever British lighting cameraman - but it's Russell's genius. Emblazoned and embellished on every edit, every rising symphonious dawn, every artistic tantrum, every slightly alien look at a European city from an English South Coast perspective, every beautiful girl fighting a futile battle against art AND temperament, every achievement, gain and much, much pain- the eye on the lens and the ear at the stylus is Russell's. br /'Ken Russell at the BBC' is the ultimate review. A legacy that will last, and grow in appreciation even when we're all dead and gone for as long as the subjects of Russell's mini-masterpieces.br /
