To which I would add "The Strange Affliction of Anton Bruckner" and "The
Secret Life of Sir Arnold Bax", both of them not quite dire enough to be
funny.  I should have known better than to watch these self-indulgent
travesties, but I hoped that Russell might again make something of the
quality of his much earlier films on Delius and Elgar, each of which was
superb.
