Director of Devils (1971)
Director of Devils (1971)- Documentary | Short
A short documentary shot by Warner during the film's production whose opening narration has a whiff of guarded disapproval, but whose content gets a serious thumbs up. Russell himself discusses the historical events and characters that drive the narrative and his desire to create a sense of historical modernity, and there's some brief but interesting footage of the shoot itself. But the real meat of the piece is the recording of Peter Maxwell Davies's avant-garde score, which occupies the entire second half and makes for fascinating viewing.
