Ken Russell’s weird, wired and ultra-maximalist vision of The Who’s definitive rock-opera.
Bursting with high camp rock excess, Tommy is a one of a kind musical head trip! Converting The Who’s masterpiece into a provocative eye-popping spectacle of raucous sound and vision, maverick director Ken Russell lets his imagination go wild. Born deaf, dumb and blind, young Tommy unwittingly becomes a messiah-like superstar when his pinball mastery catapults him to fame. Glittered with out-of-this-world turns from Elton John, Tina Turner, Oliver Reed and The Who themselves, this an outrageous rock 'n' roll celebration you won’t forget!
