I think it's an underground classic (no pun intended); better than most of Russell's films, which I normally don't care for. Maybe it just appeals to my mystical side; I often feel most people these days have theirs switched off.
I also think it makes a good companion piece to Network, which illustrated many of the same Chayefskian themes, only with more pessimism than you see here.

Chayefsky was notoriously finicky and temperamental and kind of a snob. Ken Russell is notoriously sloppy and flakey and kind of a hipster. So it wasn't a match made in heaven. But if I were Chayefsky I'd probably have been sore as hell too if my production had gotten passed through the hands of four different directors.

Twenty seven different directors, according to Mr. Russell- but then he
is
known for hyperbole.
" The reason such an attractive script was turned down with such frequency? The abominable reputation of the movie's screenwriter, Paddy Chayfesky. Chayfesky, responsible for penning such classics as "Network" and "Marty" was a ruthless dictator on the sets of his films. The clash between Chayfesky and Russell is nearly as legendary as this movie's special effects. However, Chayfesky did allow Russell one bit of creative freedomto revise the hallucination sequences."

Bcurran, not only does Julianne Moore have no problem appearing nude on screen, she had no problem showing everyone she is a natural redhead!
As for resemblances, I can see Blair Brown as a synthesis of Julianne Moore and Madeline Stowe (a third actress with a fine stable of nude scenes ot her credit).
And having seen all three in the buff, Mis Blair has by far the finest posterior. -

Blair Brown has a succulent pair of tits and a nice round ass the way I like 'em. You get a nice shot of her cute ass right after William Hurt saves her from staying forever as some lava chic or something.

I'm not going into a debate if hot or not but yes, they look both very similar!
