Typically over-the-top portrait of wild, free-thinking, extremely emotive, unstable, all around asshole sculptor Henri Gaudier-Brzeska in 1914. After spending 1 1/2 hours with this guy as portrayed here I was willing to put a bullet in his head...it turned out someone did on the Western Front in 1915. The last scenes were a slow pan over some of his work left behind...which was marvelous.
I suppose the message is that the most interesting, creative work is produced by folks who make poor dinner guests and even worse domestic partners. No surprise there.
Meticulously done, as always by Russell...in 1972.
