Tommy
(UK 1975, dir: Ken Russell, with: Roger Daltrey, Ann-Margret, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Tina Turner, Jack Nicholson, music: The Who), English version, FSK16

After a traumatic childhood experience, Tommy is deaf, mute and blind. Even the strangest therapies cannot help him. Only when he discovers his talent for pinball, the once isolated eccentric becomes a celebrated idol. Ken Russell staged this fantastic rock opera by The Who using psychedelic images and bizarre appearances by The Who, Elton John, Tina Turner, Jack Nicholson and other stars from the 1970's.
