Review :
Savage Messiah (1972) *** (out of four)- Uneven yet moving drama
This is perhaps the only Ken Russell film where one might find themselves moved to tears. Savage Messiah is about the life and death of Henry Gaudier, and it is one of the best films ever made about art and the process of creating it. Unfortunately the movie falls short of greatness. Many of the scenes feel like they are being rushed through, and many of the characters, including Gaudier, seem like they are on speed. Though Scott Anthony is quite good as the young sculptor Gaudier, Dorothy Tutin shines as Gaudier's mother-figure and lover. She is believable in every second of her performance.
Russell packs an emotional wallop for the finale. He uses an interesting technique throughout the film by not showing much of the artist's work. Only after we discover that Gaudier has been killed in World War I is his work revealed in what must be one of the most beautiful montages in Ken Russell's filmography. Savage Messiah is a moving film.
***(out of four)
