lisztomania (1975)


"Perhaps this will teach you not to bang on the piano."
An over the top, cartoon like romp through the life of Franz Liszt (Roger Daltry), the classical composer, who managed to write a few tunes between affairs, his rivalry with Richard Wagner (Paul Nicholas), and his problems with the Pope (Ringo Starr).
Having just completed Tommy, he then goes one step further in his exploration of the life of a rock god, throwing everything he can into the mix, from Vampires to phallic symbols and bucket load of bawdy immature humour.
