Info
Tim Omaji was another standout in the tricky role of Ike Turner. Portrayed as a cartoon villain in the 1993 biopic What’s Love Got To Do With It, the pioneer of rock’n’roll received a more nuanced treatment here. The production didn’t flinch from his violent, coercive control of Tina, but made some attempt to explain the racism and childhood trauma that marked him (although his diagnosis this century with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder wasn’t mentioned).
