Description
[Machine Translation] If the dream that never awakens is love... Ken Russell's portrayal of the intense life of the great composer, Tchaikovsky, is a gorgeous epic with Tchaikovsky's beautiful melodies. This epic poem, which was only released on VHS in Japan for a long time, is now finally available on Blu-ray! Ken Russell, a genius who has gained a passionate following for his brilliant visuals and radical auteurism in films such as "Women in Love" ('69) and "Tommy" ('75), has completely adapted the dramatic life of Russia's greatest musician, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, to film. Tchaikovsky's lust for his best friend Anton, his irascible love for his wife Nina, and his heart's cry for a mother. Tchaikovsky's devastating love for Anton, his best friend, is portrayed in an eccentric and scandalous manner with overwhelming passion and explosive brilliance. Tchaikovsky, who struggles with love, is played by Richard Chamberlain, who was an idol in the U.S. in the 1960s and appeared in popular films such as "The Towering Inferno" ("The Towering Inferno") ("The Towering Inferno") ('73). Nina, the wife who goes mad because her husband does not want her, is played by Glenda Jackson, a leading British actor who won two Academy Awards for Ken Russell's "Women in Love" and "Weekend Love" ('73), and who sadly passed away in 2023. The insanity and sex-filled screaming at the end of the film have become legendary, and it is often called "Ken Russell's best film. --One snowy night, Pyotr Tchaikovsky, a teacher at the Moscow Conservatory, spends the night with his best friend, Count Anton Shilovsky. Their relationship is rumored throughout the conservatory, and Tchaikovsky's future as a musician is put in jeopardy. In order to break off his relationship with Anton, he decides to marry Nina, a female student who has a passionate interest in him. But this is the beginning of a tragedy...
