Savage Messiah is a 1972 British biographical film of the
life of French sculptor Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, made by Russ-Arts and
distributed by MGM. It was directed and produced by Ken Russell with Harry Benn
as associate producer, from a screenplay by Christopher Logue, based on the
book Savage Messiah by H.S. Ede. Much of the content of Ede's book came from
letters sent between Henri Gaudier-Brzeska and his lover Sophie Brzeska. The
music score was by Michael Garrett (though music by Claude Debussy and
Alexander Scriabin was also used), and the cinematography by Dick Bush. The
sets were designed by Derek Jarman.
