Cinema Neuf: Love is the Devil: Study for a Portrait of Francis Bacon (1998) – 35mm

Beskrivelse

Mahler, Mahler, Mahler When making a biography of an artist, there is a real danger of making a movie that resembles reading that artist's Wikipedia-page; a dull retelling of events that happened in chronological order. Capturing what drives that artist, and the beauty of their art on film is exceedingly difficult. Fortunately, John Maybury, director of Love is the Devil, has a keen eye for his subject, and recognizes every defect in Francis Bacon that fuels his creative process. In this unorthodox portrait, Maybury dissects the painter Francis Bacon, and his unhealthy relationship with the petty thief turned muse George Dyer. John Maybury Storbrittania 35mm 90 min.
