• Cranky Hanke's Screening Room: Nymphomaniacs, Nuns, and Messiahs: Ken Russell As I Knew Him

  

  Ken Hanke | 12/04/2011

  This is far and away the hardest thing I've ever had to write. The very idea that Ken Russell could be dead is unthinkable to me. This isn't just the passing of one of the -- not always fully appreciated -- true giants of cinema. This is the passing of a friend of nearly 30 years -- a man I unreservedly loved. The very fact that I am -- for the very first time -- writing something that he will not be reading is strange and saddening in itself. And that makes this even harder, making various regrets snowball into something almost paralyzing.

  I don't normally give this space over to reviewing DVDs, but this new release is something of an historic event.
