a celluloid portrait every bit as grimly disturbing as anything that Bacon himself produced, and far too darkly imaginative to be tarred with the 'biopic' brush.
Powerfully well-acted.
But whatever I think of Bacon and his art work I was, nevertheless, still dazzled by the breathless performance of Derek Jacobi...
a riveting and disquieting portrait of a riveting and disquieting painter
Looking through a color art book on Bacon actually would make an appropriate substitute to watching the film.
"...we all have nightmares. They can't be as horrific as life." Deep, dark and unsettling. An artful obliteration of the line between genius and madness.
