  • Ken Russell – 2001
    KEN RUSSELL Nato il 3 luglio 1927 a Southampton, Hampshire, in Gran Bretagna, Ken Russell è davvero il ‘ragazzaccio’ del cinema inglese; i suoi fallimenti sono spesso più interessanti dei successi della maggior parte dei registi. La sua propensione per il bizzarro e l’eccessivo si è rivelata ben presto nella sua carriera, con la sua serie di biografie per la BBC su Debussy e Isadora Duncan. Russell ha esordito come regista cinematografico nel 1963 con French Dressing e successivamente ha diretto lo spy thriller Il cervello da un miliardo di dollari (1967, forse il suo film più convenzionale). Il suo terzo film, nel 1969, stato un adattamento sessualmente vivido ma (per i suoi canoni) abbastanza freddo di‘Women in love di D. H. Lawrence, che gli è valso una nomination agli Oscar e il plauso internazionale. E che gli ha anche dato la libertà di sbizzarrirsi con alcune singolari pseudobiografie come L’altra faccia dell’amore (1971), Messia selvaggio (1972), La perdizione (1974), Lisztomania (1975) e Valentino (1977), e di mostrare una strana sorta di versatilità nel 1971, passando dallo ‘scandaloso’I Diavoli a Il boy friend un omaggio ai musical degli anni ‘30. Nel 1975 si è dedicato all’opera rock degli Who Tommy dando al progetto il suo tocco personale: bisogna vedere una scena con Ann-Margaret per crederci. Ha avuto un forte successo commerciale in America con Stati di Allucinazione nel 1980, dopo il quale è tornato ai budget ridotti e ai suoi progetti personali con certi titoli brillanti come China Blue (1984), Gothic (1986), L’ultima Salomè e la commedia horror cult La tana del serpente bianco (entrambi del 1988).

Russell, geboren 1927 in Southampton, ursprünglich Tänzer, Fotograf und Schauspieler, debütierte in den fünfziger 1 Jahren mit einer Reihe ambitionierter Amateurfilme. „Amelia and the Angel" gibt sich auf den ersten Blick als Kinderfilm auf den Spuren von Lamorisses „Ballon rouge". Die Rolle des gottglei¬ chen Künstlers, Viktorianische Gassenhauer und barocke Cemba- loekstatik verweisen jedoch auf das, was Russeis zukünftiges Werk in Bann halten wird: Kunst und Musik. Beides findet sich thematisiert in dem TV-Film „Elgar", der den 1934 verstorbenen Komponisten Sir Edgar Elgar als romantischen Heros und poeta laureatus des englischen Musikschaffens präsentiert.

  • Intradiegetische Filmmusik in Ken Russells the FALL of the LOUSE of USHER (Großbritannien 2002) Julian Lucks (Kiel)
    Kieler Beiträge zur Filmmusikforschung, 7, 2011: Musik bei Ken Russell // 85 Intradiegetische Filmmusik in Ken Russells THE FALL OF THE LOUSE OF USHER (Großbritannien 2002) Julian Lucks (Kiel) Abstract In THE FALL OF THE LOUSE OF USHER haben wir es mit einer speziellen Form der intradiegetischen Filmmusik zu tun. Sie erlangt durch ihre Visualisierung im Stil von Musikvideos virtuelle Materialität, wird mit ihrer Rezeption durch die Filmfiguren zum handlungstragenden Element und ist damit Teil eines intradiegetischen medialen Kommunikationsprozesses. Mit ihrer Hilfe verfügt der Film über das Potenzial mediale Rezeption an sich zu reflektieren, welches er auch ausschöpft. Dieser Artikel unternimmt den Versuch, die Besonderheiten der intramedialen Rezeption herauszuarbeiten und zu interpretieren. Um die Ergebnisse kontextualisieren zu können muss zudem ein ungefährer Eindruck vom Gesamtfilm vermittelt werden. Abschließend soll aufgezeigt werden, dass sich im untersuchten Film die Grenzen zwischen dem Künstler, seinem Werk und dem Rezipienten des Werks allein auf der narrativen Ebene manifestieren, dadurch aber rekursiv auf den Handlungsverlauf zurückwirken. 1. Der Urheber des Films Nach seinem letzten Kinofilm WHORE (USA, 1991) verschwanden die Werke Ken Russells für lange Zeit von den großen Leinwänden und er drehte einige Auftragsarbeiten für das amerikanische und britische Fernsehen. Ende der Neunziger erreichte Russells Karriere mit Low-Budget-Produktionen wie der Verfilmung einer fiktiven Lebensgeschichte des israelischen Bühnenmagiers Uri Geller, MINDBENDER (USA, 1996), welche jener mitfinanzierte sowie dem Gefängnisdrama DOGBOYS (Kanada/USA, 1998) einen Tiefpunkt. Im Fall von DOGBOYS gelang es ihm angesichts seiner eigenen Unzufriedenheit mit dem ihm aufgezwungenen Drehbuch kaum, die Hauptdarsteller zur Identifikation mit ihren Rollen zu motivieren (Lanza 2007, S.

  • KEN RUSSELL I PECCATI DI UN VISIONARIO Di Massimo Monteleone
    KEN RUSSELL I PECCATI DI UN VISIONARIO di Massimo Monteleone «Il pubblico preferisce vedere storie di diavoli piuttosto che di santi». «I compositori sono i più vicini a fare ciò che io stesso cerco di fare; esprimere l’inesprimibile, o piuttosto investigarlo, esplorare l’inesplorabile, il mistero divino». «Non sono un intellettuale... il mio approccio al cinema è sempre e solamente emotivo.., il cinema per me è un fatto d’arte terribilmente romantico». «Ci sono più resurrezioni in Dallas che in tutta la storia del Cristianesimo». Ogni qual volta il nome di Ken Russell appare sul manifesto di un film o sulla locandina di un’opera lirica, lo scandalo è assicurato. Sulla stampa (specie italiana) i complimenti si sprecano: visionario, delirante, sacrilego, pazzo, kitch, sessuofobo, infantile. Insomma il re dell’eccesso e dello schiaffo audiovisivo alle sacre convenzioni dell’Arte. Ma l’ironia che lo contraddistingue gli permette di non offendersi. Il fatto è che qualsiasi materiale (testo letterario, musical o vita d’artista) diventa nelle sue mani qualcosa di «russelliano» senza appello, risultando stravolto agli occhi dei critici puritani e decisamente provocatorio per le platee del «buon gusto» e dei «buoni sentimenti». E di certo un autore per il quale non si adatta il metro dell’equilibrata mediocrità. Lo si può considerare affascinante per le sue personalissime stravaganze espressive, o altrimenti detestare con tutta la propria sensibilità di spettatore, ma l’indifferenza gli è ignota davvero. La sua infanzia fu un vero bombardamento «cinematografico». Andava al cinema con sua madre anche tre volte alla settimana. Poi cominciò a farsi il «cinema» a casa, con un proiettore a manovella, un grammofono, vecchi dischi come colonna sonora, e alcuni classici del cinema noleggiati da un emporio, dei quali Russell ricorda con entusiasmo Metropolis e I Nibelunghi di Lang, ma anche Betty Boop e le vecchie comiche del muto (tutti influssi riscontrabili nel suo stile futuro).
