Mahler 1974 Trailer

From its stunning opening sequence, featuring Georgina Hale
(Mahler's wife Anna) isolated in full mummy wrap and
writhing with erotic yearning to the lush strains of her
husband's music, Mahler distinguishes itself as the most poetic
and archetypal of Russell's great-composer works. A cinematic
response to Luchino Visconti's 1971 adaptation of Death in
Venice,Mahler stars Robert Powell as the great Jewish romantic
composer. Whilst the film is the least ostentatious of Russell's
movies about music, it is hardly conventional--a mix of lyrical
tableaux and comic fantasy that adds up to a stirring, dreamlike
experience.

I saw that excellent film at 16 yo. 17 years after, I remember numerous scenes of that.

Beautiful and emotional movie.

Shot 3:33 is very moving. Mahler and Alma spend most of the movie quarreling, but when you see this exchange, you realize that the two are tied together. It may not be historical, but it was so romantic that I felt my eyes gloss over.

2:33 you're welcome

"Anna" was Mahler's daughter. His wife was Alma.

Ken Russell's cult film "Mahler" in 1974
Starring Robert Powell as Gustav Mahler and Georgina Hale as Alma Mahler, it tells the story of his life via the surreal fantastical mind of Ken Russell.

[@bettinaalmasan8468]

Mahler's wife name was ALMA, not ANNA. And she cheated on him a lot.
