Alec B @Alec97 Feb 21, 2024 It has a good balance of more traditional materiel (i.e. everything on the train) and Russell's insane fantasy sequences. The conversion scene with Cosima Wagner as a fascist Brunhilda is one of the more memorable visuals in Russell's oeuvre.

See more Sep 7, 2020 "Mahler" shows the surrealist brilliance of Russell, proving he can make a "normal" movie & an insane one simultaneously. More akin to an actual biopic than other Russell composer bios, we see how Mahler's obsessions affected his work & his marriage; Alma's arc is devastating. Still, the fever-dream absurdity is prevalent; in this film especially, he leans into the Lebowski-esque humor in these segments, which while emotionally confusing at times, it's also wonderfully entertaining & undeniably intentional.

See more May 21, 2015 Ken Russell's MAHLER has sadly seemingly been forgotten. This is cinematic art. See more Mar 15, 2015 Interesting watch......and easier viewing than Lisztomania!
