Sorry, this movie sucks
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Early "Monitor" work by Ken Russell. Shows a particular flair for matching nocturnal music with surprisingly vivid images. It works particularly well in describing the composer's fascination with insects linked to seminal works like the "Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste." A black and white classic.
