Abstract:"Guided throughout by the swells and dips of Tchaikovsky's music, Ken Russell's film unfolds in opulent and fantastical musical sequences that portray scenes from the composer's life between 1875 and 1881. Touching on his disastrous marriage with Antonia Miliukova, his relationship with patroness Nadezhda von Meck and his repressed homosexuality, The Music Lovers is anchored by magnetic central performances from Glenda Jackson as Antonina, following her award-winning role in Women in Love, and Richard Chamberlain as a memorably neurotic Tchaikovsky."
