A biographical film about the young French sculptor Henri Gaudier and his eccentric lover Sophia Brezeska in Bohemian Paris. Ken Russell directs with his trademark style of frenzy and originality, but also some silliness and inaccuracy.
A prim spinster meets a fiery young sculptor in the Paris library, and their lives change forever. Intense, tempestuous--and platonic--their relationship feeds their talent and creativity, their Savage Messiah.
