Ken Russell's take on the life of Gaudia Brzeska is irreverant and a little flippant. Perhaps that is just as well, because clearly someone who was able to produce the quantity and quality of work that Brzeska did during his short life, must have had something like mad energy portrayed in this film. Had he lived, he might have been as well known as Picasso. There are flaws, it looks very dated to the 70's, but if this film had not been made, I probably would not have heard of him.
