Ken Russell was among the most provocative, creative, original and
important directors in British film and television history but his
career and legacy have long suffered under the media cliches of
'Madman' or 'Enfant Terrible' of British cinema - nicknames which
have tended to delegitimise his status and pioneering role in
post-war film and television culture. This scholarly edited
collection refuses these terms and aims to not only reflect and
further current critical research into Russell's work but to see
Russell as the Renaissance man of British cinema. It brings
together the work of new and established scholars as well as the
reflections of those who knew and worked with Russell. ReFocus: The
Films of Ken Russell offers new perspectives across the breadth of
Russell's extensive career in television, film and other mediums,
and seeks to better understand not only his reception, but the
importance of collaboration to his practice, and the legacy of the
man himself.
