Full Description
Showcases the most contemporary scholarly and archival research into Ken Russell's career and work
Contains writing and research from a range of new and emerging scholars of Russell's work
Includes reflections and discussion from those who knew and worked with Russell: his wife Elize Russell and editor Roger Crittenden
Foreword by Russell influenced film director Bernard Rose
Ken Russell was among the most provocative, creative, original and important directors in British film and television history but his career and legacy have long suffered under the media clich s of 'Madman' or 'Enfant Terrible' of British cinema nicknames which have tended to delegitimise his status and pioneering role in post-war film and television culture.
This scholarly edited collection refuses these terms and aims to not only reflect and further current critical research into Russell's work but to see Russell as the Renaissance man of British cinema. It brings together the work of new and established scholars as well as the reflections of those who knew and worked with Russell. ReFocus: The Films of Ken Russell offers new perspectives across the breadth of Russell's extensive career in television, film and other mediums, and seeks to better understand not only his reception, but the importance of collaboration to his practice, and the legacy of the man himself.
