was a landmark year for film, a convergence of exciting
international cinema and the original voices of New Hollywood that
still resonates 50 years later. In our new series we invite a
different guest for each episode to choose a 1974 movie to talk
about, ranging from giant blockbusters to minor cult curios and
everything else in between. Falling somewhere between his more
restrained films about Elgar and Delius and his untamed biopics of
Strauss and Liszt, in 1974 Ken Russell released a portrait of
Austro-Bohemian Romantic composer Gustav Mahler and his silently
suffering spouse Alma. We welcome back Russell's wife and
collaborator Lisi Tribble Russell, who shares her insights on this
low-key masterpiece and memories of her friendship with its star,
the wonderful Georgina Hale. The Pink Smoke site:
