theres one about horny nuns thats good too. and thats it.
re-watch it altered state saturday, fucking great, just the end thats a little faggy.
watch possession 1981, if you enjoy altered states, its kinda like a spiritual brother of it.
Tyler Nelson
>watch possession 1981
Saw it, thought it was meh. Apathetic, drags on, has no energy.
Alexander Taylor
The Devils is peak russell and the best thing he ever made. tommy, lisztomania, and mahler are up there too. crimes of passion is lurid fun. i haven't seen it but i've heard women in love is essential viewing.
Easton Lewis
everything he made from women in love through altered states is kino of the highest order
dude is maybe the most underrated director in film
80s on is pure camp although its fun too. the wilde one is really good.

Tommy and Crimes of Passion
Colton Morris
Gothic and Women in Love are both masterpieces
also Devils
Jace Fisher
i really love this one. so fucked up. the ending of altered states should be like possession, more pessimistic. altered states ends with the power of love.
Connor Lopez
Thanks for the replies everyone, that'll be enough for a few months.
Jeremiah Richardson

Kayden Rogers
Tommy is probably his best movie.
Angel Morris
The Devils pure kino.
Nolan Scott
Tommy and Women in Love
>someone defending Lisztomania
Never thought I will see this day

Amelia and the Angel is nice. The Devils is his best, but the scene with naked nuns running around almost ruins the entire thing.
Nathan Long
it's not my favorite russell but it's a trip, and the third act is actually it's strongest, unlike tommy.
Ayden Barnes
Just watch all of them.
Josiah Barnes
Theresa Russell was no relation of his. I know you know this, I just want to make it clear to the folks reading.
Connor Peterson
Crimes of Passion is much better than The Devils, because it isn't scared of nookie.
Sebastian Richardson
How much cocaine did they have in the set of Lisztomania? I'm guessing two trucks at least.

I always like The Devils, but I like Oliver Reed.
Women In Love is good, but will frighten you with the nude wrestling scene between Reed and Bates, and the massive homosex overtones (it's not spoonfed to you that they fucked....but they fucked), and the women are not pretty, but it's an interesting adaptation of a book by D.H. Lawrence. He went back to the D.H. well with The Rainbow, which I saw once, and don't remember much about.
Russell to me was the low rent Kubrick - one foot in sensible British schoolboy literature, and the other in the 60's hedonism. Kubrick shook that off and found his own vision, Russell just made mediocre films and TV shows after peaking with Altered States.

I'm kind of surprised anyone here saw The Devils. Kind of glad to see that.
