| Tina Turner as The Acid Queen |
With all the buzz surrounding the restored, uncensored, director's cut of Ken Russell's The Devils, which I loved for the record. I have been thinking of his other works of which there are many. In case you didn't know I am a Ken Russell stan.
Another vision of his that pops for me is his film version of The Who's musical Tommy.
Especially the nightmare inducing scene involving Tommy (who is blind, deaf and dumb) played by Roger Daltrey and The Acid Queen played to perfection by Tina Turner.
Thus we are going to Hump Day & Chill to the one and only Tina Turner as The Acid Queen
If you haven't seen Tommy yet and are curious about Ken Russell's other works I highly recommend it. Like The Devils it's truly a unique one of a kind experience.
Be warned though, it also like The Devils is not for the timid. The Acid Queen scene in particular.
"If your child ain't all he should be now
This girl could put him right" - The Acid Queen
Indeed...Hump Day & Chill Minions!
