Excerpt: Ken Russell Henry Kenneth Alfred Russell (born 3 July 1927), known as Ken Russell, is an English film director. He is known for his pioneering work in television and film and for his controversial style. He has been criticized as being overly obsessed with sexuality and the church. His subject matter is often about famous composers, or based on other works of art which he adapts loosely. Russell began directing for the BBC, where he did creative adaptations of composers' lives which were unusual for the time. He also directed many feature films independently and for studios. He is best known for his Oscar -winning film Women in Love (1969), The Devils (1971), The Who 's Tommy (1975), and the science fiction film Altered States (1980).Biography Early career Russell was born in Southampton, England on 3 July 1927. His father was distant and took out his rage on his family, so Russell spent much of his time at the cinema with his mother. He cites Die Nibelungen and The Secret of the Loch as two early influences. He was educated in Walthamstow and at Pangbourne College. He served in both the Royal Air Force and the Merchant Navy, and moved into television work after short careers in dance and photography. His series of documentary "Teddy Girl" photographs were published in Picture Post magazine in the summer of 1955, and he continued to work as a freelance documentary photographer until 1959. After 1959, Russell's amateur films (his documentaries for the Free Cinema movement, and his 1958 short Amelia and the Angel ) secured him a job at Books, , University-Of-Wales-Newport~~Books-Llc, 999999999, University Of Wales, Newport, Books Llc, 1156459389, General Books LLC, , , , , General Books LLC<
