Russell also did that movie about the vacation that spawned Frankenstein, right?
I had to watch that moviw (for no apparent reason, I might add) during my Survey of British Literature class. it took several classes to get through. And was very odd.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Did the movie have the bit about Shelley getting high on some hallucinogenic and then looking over at Mary and seeing eyeballs in place of her nipples?
Yes.

I need to see Gothic again. I've only kinda-sorta seen it once, long ago, at a somewhat odd party.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Gothic is a great movie. And the soundtrack by Thomas Dolby was astounding.

Gothic is an absurdly bad hammy pudding of a movie, possibly the worst that Julian Sands has ever made - and just stop to ponder that statement for a moment - but enormous fun.

The memory of that movie makes my skin crawl.
It was great fun to watch with a room full of English Literature Geeks.

Apart from Julian Sands, this describes a lot of Ken Russell, which is why I like his stuff (his stuff that's not so much fun is very hit or miss - sometimes effective (THE DEVILS), sometimes just painful and embarassing (VALENTINO). CRIMES OF PASSION is a particular favorite, but it's also a bit of a change of pace for him (apart from the kinky stuff, of course).

Ah, but he also made Billion Dollar Brain which (from very faded memories) rules all.
