Mahler is a 1974 biographical film based on the life of composer Gustav Mahler. It was written and directed by Ken Russell for Goodtimes Enterprises, and starred Robert Powell as Gustav Mahler and Georgina Hale as Alma Mahler. The film was entered into the 1974 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Technical Grand Prize.
After a spectacular prelude, the film begins on a train journey with Gustav Mahler (Robert Powell) and his wife Alma (Georgina Hale) confronting their failing marriage. The story is then recounted in a series of flashbacks (some of which are surrealistic and nightmarish), taking one through Mahler's childhood, his brother's suicide, his experience with anti-semitism, his conversion from Judaism to Catholicism, his marital problems, and the death of his young daughter. The film also contains a surreal fantasy sequence involving the anti-Semitic Cosima Wagner (Antonia Ellis), widow of Richard Wagner, whose objections to his taking control of the Court Opera were supposedly removed by his conversion to Catholicism. In the process, the film explores Mahler's music and its relationship to his life.

Plot: In the post-apocalyptic future where television sets are more important than food, TV ratings are the all important currency of the nation. A new technique of preventing viewers from channel surfing proves somewhat detrimental to particularly sedentary couch potatoes. The top studio becomes concerned: dead viewers make for low ratings. Edison Carter, top news reporter, is sent to find out more. After a motorcycle accident, his mind is preserved by wizz-kid Bryce and becomes his wise cracking, computer generated alter-ego: Max Headroom, who manages to boost ratings above those of any live hosts to date. This made for TV movie was later remade (sanitized version) as the first episode of the series.

Troubles to appear
Guided by an ancient heart
No time for even fear
Deception of a shoveled earth
Too many seem like hell
Dying to resist temptation
Gods of greed will tell
Living down the line
Medication XTC
Living down the line
Living...
Across the edge of sanity
Where God and silence dwell
Destroyer of the golden lamb
Shall spend a night in hell
I have turned down all the lights
To walk the unknown veils
I have sworn to kill the man
In charge of hunting whales
Breed a horse that you can't feed
As the money eats the Red
Trust in vomit and disease
When the blood of all is shed
Will we see the dawn of darkness
Never occurred before
At the shores of the lake of fire
Exploring the bestial whore
Transcend my voice and mould my head
Too many dwell in pain
Summoned by a crimson soul
Let's drink the poisoned rain
Subordinate the weeping preacher
My curtain has been drawn
Towards the terror of seclusion
At dawn I will be gone
