This flamboyant and extraordinary assault on the senses guest stars Oliver Reed, Ringo Starr and Rick Wakeman.Product Identifiers

Additional InformationOutrageously hedonistic 'rockopera' LISZTOMANIA casts contemporary rock god Roger Daltrey as the world's first music superstar, Franz Liszt. Loosely based on the life of the composer, the film takes a fantastical voyage through rock'n'roll excess and adventure, peppered with cameos from such pop icons as Ringo Starr (as the Pope) and Rick Wakeman (as Thor). The dynamic pairing of THE WHO frontman and visionary filmmaker Ken Russell reunited again after the triumphant TOMMY (made the same year) for another equally flamboyant and extraordinary assault on the senses. Sex, groupies, Nazis, Vikings, Robots and classical music; LISZTOMANIA has it all and more!
ReviewsVariety - Ken Russell's LISZTOMANIA, combines his customary zany and bawdy artfulness with a style close to TOMMY, Chicago Sun-Times - LISZTOMANIA is the latest, most outrageous outing for Russell's fecund unconscious and, while we must pause to whisper, 'poor Franz', there's no denying the man is growing peculiarly interesting
