The man knows how to take the usually dry unbearably boring genre of 'Composer Biopic' and breath new realms into it. Unlike Lisztomania, this as a bit less tongue-in-cheek, but absolutely brilliant, legit funny at points, and entirely seamless.
One day, sometime surely The Devils will get a release and I for one will be happy as a pig in crap, especially if it's completely uncut.
