Guided throughout by the swells and dips of Tchaikovsky’s music, Ken Russell’s The Music Lovers examines the tragedies of Tchaikovsky’s life through opulent and fantastic musical sequences running alongside a narrative of the composer’s life between 1875 and 1881. Touching on his disastrous marriage with Antonina Miliukova, his relationship with his patroness Nadezhda von Meck, and his repressed homosexuality, The Music Lovers is anchored by magnetic central performances from Glenda Jackson following her Academy Award for Women in Love, coupled with Richard Chamberlain as a neurotic Tchaikovsky. Forming part of Ken Russell’s collection of experimental composer biopics, The Music Lovers features plenty of his signature provocation and excess, but ultimately takes a sympathetic lens to Tchaikovsky’s life in a repressive Russian society.

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's demon-ridden inner self and his tumultuous private life were deeply imprinted in all of his work, and Ken Russell managed to combine all this in images with ethereally beautiful music. What more could you want from a biopic? Perhaps only the performances of the two main actors, Richard Chamberlain and Glenda Jackson, were equally as outstanding. (90%)
