The tone is set right away when we're let in on the fact that referring to a movie as "a British picture" used to be a slight. A good-hearted gloss over Russell's life and work--until 1989, at least. Having Russell's children stand in for the adult Russell and his wife was almost to say, "Aw--why so upset about all the sacrilege and perversion in my movies? I was just playing!" If you aren't a Ken Russell fan already, there's probably not much here for you. A must for fans, though.

Ken Russell talking about his life, with a fair sense of cheekiness and good spirit. Not the most informative biography, but informative enough and fun to watch.
