Re: RIP Ken Russell

Ken Russell died peacefully in his sleep yesterday. He was 84.

On a very basic level, Ken was an ex-CBB HM of course, but much more importantly he was one of the UK's greatest film directors and a leading TV pioneer.

Oddly enough, I was watching him on a documentary only yesterday: it was going on once more about his struggles with the censor over "Women in Love" and "The Devils"...

I have created a thread about Ken Russell in the film section. This has an obituary about him from the BBC website, a complete list of the films he directed, and also the drama-documentary he made in 1962 about Elgar which was one of the best things he did.

Have to admit: I thought he'd died years ago. Still sad though.
