Valentino

Ultimately, it’s a film about filmmaking, something I usually love. However, Valentino is probably my least favorite Ken Russell film to date. It’s so Babylon-esque, both in its concept and in its execution, yet something still felt lacking.

My biggest pet peeve was the grotesque accents, which felt completely out of place due to their inaccuracy. Some scenes were also ridiculously overacted – and not in a good way.

I mostly hate biopics since filmmakers take the approach of making the film boring by forgoing any fun in the movie to have an accurate portrayal of the subject. And still end up shoving a bunch on inaccuracies in the movie. Fortunately for me Ken Russell barely bothers with even pretending to have an accurate story and gets to the real meat and potatoes of a film, style.

as always with a Ken Russell it’s visually audacious and at the very least it’s medium horny (in large part due to how nureyev moves but also in how overwhelming the national hysteria for valentino is depicted throughout).
i love love love looking at his movies and like he nearly always is gonna make a really interesting camera decision. seymour cassell fantastic supporting character. love how it just becomes this emotionally charged boxing drama in the last 20 mins or so

My niche movie I need to see when I’m allowed to get high, Rudolph is my one and only silent film era stars I’ve been loving before seeing this corny biopic I’m not sure is accurate. I see nobody appreciate the real Rudolph at all and I would love to see another Valentino biopic now.
