Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Vorticist sculptor Henri Gaudier-Brzeska (Antony) becomes Russell's archetypal angry young man, scorching his way through a stereotyped collection of Edwardian culture figures, dashing off sculptures by candlelight. Henri's interesting relationship with the ageing authoress Sophie Brzeska (they decided to unite in name) is lost in the director's overriding credo that both art and films are a matter of how much energy you exert.Author:
