 Ken Russell Quotation[concerning his style of biographical films] "The whole idea had degenerated into a series of third-rate cliches. I wanted to dress people in old clothes and do it in a totally unreal way, and thus make it more real than ever, and in the process send up this new civil service/academic way of doing films." "The Devils is a harsh film, but it's a harsh subject. I wish the people who were horrified and appalled by it had read the book, because the facts are more horrible than anything in the film." "It is a pity when one, either through force of circumstance or because one is afraid of being ridiculed by others, won't produce and expose to everyone that little spark of something special which is unique to him alone." "A critic's typical praise is 'Beautifully understated.' That means beautifully false . . . I'd rather go the other way - to gamble rather than play it safe. If I err it's by overstating, but I try to get it right." Movie Title: Celebrity Naked Ambition (2003) as Ken Russell: Ken Russell : [on famous male nude wrestling scene from Women In Love] Of course Oliver cheated a bit - between each take before we did it he went behind a screen and had a quick J. Arthur. Movie Title: The Russia House (1990) as Walter: Walter : This is just like school! Dear old, bloody old, school! [talking about Western relations with Russia] Barley : I thought we were supposed to be... chums together now. Ned : [sarcastically] Oh, my dear lord... Walter : Because this year it suits them to roll over on their backs and play nice doggie? Because this year they're on the floor anyway? You ninny! All the more reason to spy the living daylights out of them. Kick them in the balls every time they get to their knees. |
