The Devils
Why this pick
Russell’s equally extravagant visual attack combines historical pageantry, sexual provocation, grotesque comedy and operatic excess—ideal if Lisztomania’s gleefully unruly theatricality was the draw.

Why this pick
Russell’s equally extravagant visual attack combines historical pageantry, sexual provocation, grotesque comedy and operatic excess—ideal if Lisztomania’s gleefully unruly theatricality was the draw.
Why this pick
A rock-opera fever dream with the same maximalist editing, flamboyant costumes, surreal set pieces and satirical bad taste that make Lisztomania feel unlike a conventional music biopic.
Why this pick
Its backstage musical framework repeatedly erupts into elaborate, artificial-looking fantasy numbers, matching Lisztomania’s love of performance, stylisation and knowingly excessive spectacle.
Why this pick
Russell brings the same anarchic mix of lurid colour, camp eroticism, horror imagery and abrupt comic tonal shifts to a deliriously stylised genre film.
Why this pick
This notorious disco musical shares Lisztomania’s aggressively artificial production design, pop-cultural satire, wild tonal swings and wholehearted commitment to extravagant absurdity.
