Essential Cinema: Tommy

Prepare for a sensory explosion! Essential Cinema presents Ken Russell's landmark 1975 film, Tommy. This is not just a movie; it's a full-throttle cinematic rock opera that reshaped the boundaries of film, music, and spectacle.

Based on The Who's groundbreaking 1969 concept album, this film follows the story of Tommy Walker, a "deaf, dumb, and blind kid" who becomes a messianic pinball champion. Directed with outrageous flair by Ken Russell, the film transforms the album's narrative into a kaleidoscopic, star-studded extravaganza.

Witness an iconic cast bring this rock saga to life, including Roger Daltrey as the adult Tommy, Ann-Margret, Oliver Reed, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Tina Turner, and Jack Nicholson. The film features unforgettable musical sequences that have become part of pop culture history.

This is essential viewing for music lovers, film adventurers, and anyone ready to experience one of the most audacious and unique films ever to hit the screen. See it loud. See it large.
