Our take on this event
Prepare yourself for a visceral, baroque masterpiece that remains one of the most provocative pieces of cinema ever filmed. Ken Russell delivers an unflinching look at power, repression, and hysteria that demands to be seen on the big screen. This dark, intense historical drama is a haunting experience perfectly suited for those who appreciate cinema that pushes every boundary.
