Russell's film life has been a bacchanal in which burlesque is used to shape serious cinematic ideas. To enjoy him is to surrender to a voluptuary and not worry about the end-of-the-pier acting, so it's no wonder that critic Pauline Kael thought the man was mad. Had Russell been Italian he would be as revered as Fellini. Instead, it's still impossible to see many of his films. At least we have the next best thing in an enjoyable biography of a frustrating visionary who could create haunting scenes of passion and decay, but could do nothing to help a bad actor." -- Independent on Sunday, 16th December 2007., "Everything you ever wanted to know--and more--about the wild child of Cinema Britannia." -- Financial Times, "It makes for a thrilling read-it vibrates, shimmies, pounds down the pavement of every page." -Alternative Film Guide, "It makes for a thrilling read—it vibrates, shimmies, pounds down the pavement of every page." —Alternative Film Guide, "The core features are discussed in exhaustive detail, blending close analysis with lively anecdote . . .

Synopsis
Lanza looks at the life and work of director Ken Russell, detailing the wild ideas, surreal moments, personal faith, and the cavalcade of colourful personalities surrounding this eccentric filmaker, on and off the set., A biography of director Ken Russell that details the wild ideas, surreal moments, personal faith, and cavalcade of colorful personalities surrounding this eccentric filmmaker--on and off the set. Best known for the acclaimed movies "Altered States," "The Devils," "Gothic," "The Music Lovers," "Tommy," and "Women in Love," Russell redefined cinema in the 1960s, '70s, and '80s, working with magnetic actors such as Jack Nicholson, Michael Caine, Ann-Margret, William Hurt, Gabriel Byrne, Vanessa Redgrave, and Glenda Jackson, who won a Best Actress Oscar for her role in "Women in Love," Russell's imagery, dialogue, and erotic metaphors are both outrageous and thought provoking, and he has explored the lives and works of such literary and musical luminaries as Claude Debussy, D.H. Lawrence, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Mary Shelley, Gustav Mahler, and Oscar Wilde. This intimate biography ranges over Russell's entire life and career and highlights how creative differences stopped production of a movie version of "Evita," how he grappled with censors and got accused of blasphemy for his adaptation of Aldous Huxley's "The Devils," how he creatively staged the love duet between Faust and Helen over a bowl of pasta in the opera "Mephistopheles," and how Alan Bates and Oliver Reed compared their penis sizes before diving into "Women in Love"'s nude wrestling scene., Ken Russell has made some of the most daring, disturbing, and beautifully photographed films of all time. Drawing from a wealth of historic and literary references, Russell's subjects are astounding: deranged Ursuline nuns in a 17th-century French province, the inner demons of Mary Shelley and Lord Byron, the sexual angst of Tchaikovsky, the emotionally drained life of Rudolph Valentino, the messianism of a pinball wizard, the fury of lesbian vampires, the introspections of prostitutes. Russell's movies offer not just brazen sensationalism but food for thought; they horrify yet inspire. And through it all, Russell maintains a simultaneously impish and intellectual sense of humor. The first full biography of the director, Phallic Frenzy is far from a dry, film-by-film analysis. It shows how Russell's real life has often been as engaging and vibrant as his film scenarios. Here you'll learn how Alan Bates and Oliver Reed compared their penis sizes for the nude wrestling scene in Women in Love; how Russell disfigured Paddy Chayevsky's script for Altered States by having the actors holler out the lines as fast as possible, accompanied by spewed food and streams of spitt≤ and how Russell was slated to direct Evita, starring Liza Minnelli, and the "creative differences" that ensued. A madcap tale full of wild ideas, surreal situations, and a cavalcade of colorful personalities, Phallic Frenzy is as thrilling a ride as any Ken Russell film.
