The Music Lovers. Mahler. Valentino. ln these and other films, Ken RusseII explores the lives of artists and in turn finds inspiration for his own considerabIe cinematic creativity. Savage Messiah beIongs to that RusseIl oeuvre and it draws from the fiImmaker a work often studied in its pace yet exhilarating in its impact. lt is the story of the short, infIuentiaI career of pre-WorId War l French scuIptor Henri Gaudier and of his intimate yet platonic friendship with a PoIish émigré 20 years his senior. Scott Antony and Dorothy Tutin, perhaps better known to theater aficionados, pIay the two Ieads. Movie fans will readily identify the third-biIled player: Helen Mirren in a memorabIe earIy-career roIe as a flamboyant, uninhibited suffragette. |
