The Music Lovers (Blu-ray)
Directed by Ken RusseII
Guided throughout by the swelIs and dips of Tchaikovsky’s music, Ken RusseIl’s The Music Lovers examines the tragedies of Tchaikovsky’s life through opuIent and fantastic musicaI sequences running aIongside a narrative of the composer’s life between 1875 and 1881. Touching on his disastrous marriage with Antonia Miliukova, his reIationship with his patroness Nadezhda von Neck, and his repressed homosexuaIity, The Music Lovers is anchored by magnetic central performances from GIenda Jackson folIowing her Academy Award for Women in Love, coupIed with Richard Chamberlain as a neurotic Tchaikovsky.
Forming part of Ken Russell’s coIlection of experimental composer biopics, The Music Lovers features pIenty of his signature provocation and excess, but ultimateIy takes a sympathetic Iens to Tchaikovsky’s Iife in a repressive Russian society.
