Episode 181: Gothic (1986)
from Can’t Look Away Hosted by Dave
I revisit Ken Russell’s gloriously bizarre take on the night Mary Shelley came up with Frankenstein, and discover that nearly 40 years on, it’s every bit as strange as I remembered — although I now have a better idea what the hell is going on. Lord Byron, sex, drugs, séances, demons and Julian Sands at full volume… what could possibly go wrong?
