Love is the Devil: Study for a Portrait of Francis Bacon
Leaving August 31
•
1h 30m
Directed by John Maybury • 1998 • United Kingdom
Starring Derek Jacobi, Daniel Craig, Tilda Swinton
The torrid psychosexual world of uncompromising British painter Francis Bacon is brought to terrifying life in this unflinching portrait of the artist as a monster. Bacon (Derek Jacobi) is at the height of his fame in the 1960s when would-be thief George Dyer (Daniel Craig) breaks into his studio. Thus begins a cruel, tumultuous love affair that plays out like a grim hallucination every bit as nightmarish as one of Bacon’s own canvases.
