Description: | EU Blu-ray/All Region pressing. If you've ever wanted to hear Jack Nicholson sing or marvel at the sight of Ann-Margret drunkenly cavorting in a cascade of baked beans, Tommy is the movie you've been waiting for. The Who's brilliant Rock opera is sublimely matched by director Ken Russell's penchant for cinematic excess during the peak of his filmmaking audacity. It's a fever-dream of musical bombast, revolving around the titular 'deaf, dumb, and blind kid' (Roger Daltrey) who survives the childhood trauma that stole his senses to become a Pinball Wizard. Tommy's odyssey is rendered through wall-to-wall music, from the bloodstream shock of 'The Acid Queen' (Tina Turner) to Elton John's towering rendition of 'Pinball Wizard' and Daltrey's epiphanous rendition of 'I'm Free'. Other star performers include Eric Clapton and (most outrageously) the Who's drummer Keith Moon. Tommy is a classic of creative Rock cinema, worthy of the musical and filmmaking genii who fuelled it's creation."Tommy: The Movie" on Blu-Ray from Odeon Entertainment brings to life the legendary 1975 rock opera film directed by Ken Russell, based on The Who's iconic album. This visually stunning and musically electrifying movie tells the story of Tommy Walker, a "deaf, dumb and blind kid" who becomes a pinball champion and spiritual leader. Featuring an all-star cast including Roger Daltrey (lead singer of The Who) as Tommy, Ann-Margret in her Oscar-nominated role as his mother Nora, Oliver Reed as Frank Hobbs, Tina Turner as the Acid Queen, Elton John as the Pinball Wizard, Eric Clapton as The Preacher, and Jack Nicholson in a memorable cameo. Director Ken Russell was renowned for his flamboyant style with acclaimed works like "Women in Love" and "The Devils." Roger Daltrey is celebrated not only for his powerful vocals but also for acting roles such as in "McVicar." Ann-Margret has enjoyed a storied career with hits like "Bye Bye Birdie," while Elton John remains one of music?s greatest icons. Odeon Entertainment is known for its dedication to restoring classic films with high-quality releases that appeal to cinephiles worldwide. |
