Perfect description of the Ken Russell "Faust"

I have seen a lot of goofy interpretations of opera over the years. This production is the first to sink below the notorious Das-Rheingold-in-a-Steambath. How bad is it? Someone offered me the DVD and I refused it. If I had had a sword, I would have brandished it, singing, C'est une croix qui de l'enfer nous garde!
