Why Watch This
Ken Russell’s “Lisztomania” is a fever‑dream mash‑up of 19th‑century classical grandeur and 1970s glam rock, turning Franz Liszt’s legend into a psychedelic rock‑opera. Roger Daltrey’s flamboyant turn as the virtuoso and Rick Wakeman’s thunderous keyboard score make it a wildly stylized tribute to fame and excess.

The CinePearl Take
Daltrey’s performance is both a rock‑star swagger and a tragic virtuoso, anchoring the film’s chaotic visual assault. Russell’s hyper‑kinetic editing and flamboyant set pieces keep the pacing relentless, reflecting Liszt’s own whirlwind career. The juxtaposition of Wagnerian drama with glitter‑laden rock underscores a theme that fame is as intoxicating as it is destructive.
