Tommy
Your senses will never be the same.
Directed by Ken Russell
Produced by Robert Stigwood Organization, Hemdale
A surreal, ambitious rock opera that transforms childhood trauma and disability into a hallucinatory journey toward messianic celebrity, blending visceral darkness with theatrical spectacle.
After a series of traumatic childhood events, a psychosomatically deaf, dumb and blind boy becomes a master pinball player and the object of a religious cult.
