Disappointment for a huge fan!

A Brilliant Conflict

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Early "Monitor" work by Ken Russell. Shows a particular flair for matching nocturnal music with surprisingly vivid images. It works particularly well in describing the composer's fascination with insects linked to seminal works like the "Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste." A black and white classic.
