Possibly one of the strangest movies you will ever see.
Lisztomania is the story of classical composer Franz Liszt in the context of him being the first big "pop star". Take that and the fact that it's written and directed by Ken Russell of Tommy fame, and you have one big Mind Screw.
The film varies wildly among pulp romance, strange dream-like sequences, and intentionally Narmtastic horror.
This film provides examples of:
- All-Star Cast: Musical stars, that is.
- Freud Was Right: Most of this movie.
- Subverted with the infamous 6-foot phallus. Sometimes a penis is just a penis.
- Those Wacky Nazis: Hitler himself makes an appearance.
