Stars: Roger Daltrey, Sara Kestelman, Paul Nicholas, John Justin, Fiona Lewis, Ringo Starr

Director: Ken Russell

Summary: Based on life of Franz Liszt, this rock fantasy comes across as an exotic, erotic block-buster. The dynamic pairing of THE WHO's frontman Roger Daltrey and visionary filmmaker reunite again after the triumphant TOMMY (made the same year) and present the famous composer as a pop superstar. This flamboyant and extraordinary assault on the senses guest stars Oliver Reed, Ringo Starr and Rick Wakeman.

Outrageously hedonistic 'rockopera' LISZTOMANIA casts contemporary rock god Roger Daltrey as the world's first music superstar, Franz Liszt. Loosely based on the life of the composer, the film takes a fantastical voyage through rock'n'roll excess and adventure, peppered with cameos from such pop icons as Ringo Starr (as the Pope) and Rick Wakeman (as Thor). The dynamic pairing of THE WHO frontman and visionary filmmaker Ken Russell reunited again after the triumphant TOMMY (made the same year) for another equally flamboyant and extraordinary assault on the senses. Sex, groupies, Nazis, Vikings, Robots and classical music; LISZTOMANIA has it all and more!
