A send-up of the bawdy life of Romantic composer and piano virtuoso Franz Liszt (Roger Daltrey), with ubiquitous phallic imagery and a good portion of the movie devoted to Liszt's "friendship" with fellow composer Richard Wagner (Paul Nicholas). This movie begins during the time when Franz would give piano performance to a crowd of shrieking teenage fans while maintaining affairs with his mistresses. He eventually seeks Princess Carolyn of St. Petersburg (Sara Kestelman) (at ... (Full plot summary below)

Movie Reviews

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 10/10 by Ken HankeThis is Ken Russell unfiltered -- straight-up and unafraid to go wherever his mind leads him. Absolutely unique.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertIt's a berserk exercise of demented genius, and on that level (I want to make my praise explicit) it functions and sometimes even works. Most people will probably despise it.
Aisle Seat - 8/10 by Mike McGranaghanWhile it may lack narrative sense, this is, without a doubt, one of the most unpredictable and hypnotic viewing experiences you could ever hope to have.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzIt's not for those who find Russell's zany antics a bit much.
Examiner.com - 4/10 by Adam LippeThere's no reason to suggest that Russell was just earning a paycheck on Lisztomania; clearly his full attention was on the giant penis, or the giant penis marble columns, or the giant heavenly penis pedestal.
User Review - 10/10 by Andy BCan anyone top the maniacally eccentric mad/genius of Ken Russell's 70's output. Methinks not
User Review - 10/10 by Tom CIt was going to be four stars until "No, Wagner! Stay in Hell where you belong!". That pushed it over the edge.
User Review - 10/10 by Stuart KA prime example of a film so bad, it's brilliant. Ken Russell does another film of a classical composer, but giving it the same bonkers, modern attitude he'd used in Tommy (1975), which had become one of his biggest financial successes, if The Music Lovers (1970) and Mahler (1974) were for the connoisseurs, then this was made for the lowest common denominator, and proud of it!! Franz Liszt (Roger Daltrey) is a Hungarian/Cockney composer, the rock star of the classical world, the film focuses on a supposed rivalry between him and Vampire Nazi Richard Wagner (Paul Nicholas) who marries Franzie's daughter Cosima (Veronica Quilligan), how he tried to win the affections of Princess Carolyn of Russia (Sara Kestelman) and tries to marry her too, and even encounters The Pope, (Ringo Starr). That's it as far as plot is concerned, and it's probabily the most bonkers film ever made, it's also the biggest load of incoherent twaddle ever made, BUT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! :D It's visually beautiful, but it shows Russell at his very best with the mad imagery and over the top performances, including a 19th Century swordfighting duel done to a Texas hoedown, a Chaplin influenced flashback, an example of Liszt's 'Genius' and a grand piano that shoots flames, a Frankenstein Nazi, a church organ space ship and lots of sex & nudity. But, it has some moments in it which beggar belief. Plus, it has a score by Rick Wakeman of Yes, and this is what we've come to love from Ken Russell.
User Review - 10/10 by Isaac KWow. This movie is Weird. But I LOVE weird movies. And I also happen to love Roger Daltrey. And where the two meet is a fantastic film.
User Review - 10/10 by Joe LIt was going to be four stars until "No, Wagner! Stay in Hell where you belong!". That pushed it over the edge.
