Lisztomania (film) Lisztomania (film) Lisztomania is a 1975 film by Ken Russell about the nineteenth century composer Franz Liszt. The screenplay is derived, in part, from a "kiss-and-tell" book, "Nélida" by Marie d'Agoult (1848), about her affair with Liszt. Depicting the flamboyant Liszt as the first classical pop star, "Lisztomania" features contemporary rock star Roger Daltrey (of The Who) as Franz Liszt. The film was released the same year as "Tommy", which also starred Daltrey and was directed by Russell. Rick Wakeman, from the progressive rock band Yes, composed the "Lisztomania" soundtrack, which included synthesiser arrangements of works by Liszt and Wagner.
Ghazal (1975 film) Ghazal (1975 film) Ghazal (in Persian: غزل) is a 1975 Iranian film directed by Masoud Kimiai. It stars Mohammad Ali Fardin, Faramarz Gharibian and Pouri Banayi. It is based on the short story "The Interloper", written by Jorge Luis Borges. Because Fardin had been typecast as a happy-go-lucky person who always appeared in movies with happy endings, this film was a departure for him and was not successful at the box office. Hojjat and Zeinolabedin are two brothers who make a living by forestry. They have a steady life until Hojjat brings a prostitute from the city to the jungles.
