ROCKFLIX
Rockflix appearing over the next while around the country will include The Harder They Come, which will be playing at the Lido, Wellington from January 27. Another film of interest opening in the near future will be Ken Russell's Valentino. Russell, who directed Tommy and The Boyfriend among many others, has made a film about the meteoric rise and subsequent life of fabled silent-screen lover, Rudolph Valentino. Rludolf Nuryev, famed ballet dancer, takes the part of Valentino in his first screen acting role, while ex Mamas and Papas member Michelle Phillips plays Valentino’s wife. The film has received encouraging reviews overseas which suggest that Russell has moved away from the visual excess that has marred his later films to a more balanced style. Plus don’t forget, March or April should see release of Martin Scorses’s The Last Waltz which documents the Band's farewell concert.
