ROMANTIC MELODRAMARTISTRY .......RECALLED AFTER LOOKING UP, FROM THE CENTER/FRONT IDLE, RECALLING GEORGE SAND'S HAVING CLAIMED AN ORGASM WHILE LYING IN THE FLOOR, BENEATH CHOPIN'S GRAND PIANO'S SOUNDBOARD, AS HE PLAYED HER INTO EXTASY

The 'stuff' one digs up, with some time on his hands........ (left to right) Samuel Barnett as John Everett Millais, Sam Crane as Fred Walters, Aidan Turner as Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Rafe Spall as William Holman Hunt. A Romantic Melodrama about the lives of the then young Pre-Raphaelite Artists, as they romp down dark alleys, squalid studios, brothels and chop-houses in 1850's London.......Looks like a good companion piece to Penny Dreadful......Young sophisticated, creative bad-boys writing and painting their Immortality, while risking their Mortality.... Better to spend 6 hours with these fellows, fictionalized, than 30 minutes with 'The News'.......This will be the cinematic 'biographical' update for Ken Russell's earlier film, Dante's Inferno.......I'm wondering if there's a boxed set of all of Ken Russell's biographical films about the lives of Artists.....I watched them all, on that old 21' black and white TV, with its screwed up 'vertical hold' circuitry, when I was in my early 20's.....hmm....wondering what I'd think of those crazy 'Youth-Takes' movies, now...cleaned up into HD with surround sound......My favorite is, still, IMPROMPTU, James Ivory's 'take' on another bunch, George Sand, Franz Liszt, Frederic Chopin, Eugene Delacroix and that Creative Crew......
