As with most of Ken Russell's films, you either love this one or hate it. And yes, I love this one! Story about a deaf dumb and blind kid who gets a huge following. It's the excellent music of The Who, brilliant line-up of cameos, great cast and beautiful settings that make this film so much worth your time. After you've seen this, you'll want to get the sound track and listen to it over and over again, promise!

I stumbled upon this film late last night on Dutch tv. Smitten I was! A story filled with sub-plots, symbolism and engagement. A love story in Berlin after "die Wende" dealing with kapitalism and aids and more things that hit the "Ossies" by surprise. Filled with lots of lovely and funny characters, all displayed by great acting performances. A MUST SEE!
