I still prefer Altered States over this as my choice for Ken Russell. Havent seen some of his other works (Lair of the White Worm being the third one I ve seen), but I m pretty sure Altered States is his crowning achievement. Gothic would be second in line.
Have either of you seen The Devils?
If not, then holy smokes...check it out.
It's the best Ken Russell film I've seen.
