5.0 out of 5 stars Love is the Devil, 14 Sep 2003
By Mrs. C. Burns "Writer" (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The brilliance of this film lies in the fact
that we see the world through the distorted
viewpoint of the painter, Frances Bacon.
We learn how he perceived his grim surroundings.
The teeth of his violent father are linked to
the laughing Pope's. Very few films on artists
can achieve this clear perspective. Peter
Watkins' film on Edvard Munch is an exception.
The shift between the artist's fantasy and
reality is excellent. Irony and tragedy are
kept in balance.

5.0 out of 5 stars To either love or hate as a film, 21 Jul 2003
The question is whether you're viewing this as a lover of Bacon's work or to enjoy what is simply a fascinating cult film in itself. A few of the intermittant shots are not the most original and the storyline might not be to all tastes, but the Jacobi-Craig clash and borderline humour of supporting characters combine for some wonderfully twisted dialogue that brings it alive! If you're aware that none of Bacon's work is on offer, and appreciate tongue-in-cheek humour of it's darkest type then you will love this film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliantly shot in the style of Bacon's paintings, 25 Nov 2000
By A Customer
With creative and bizare camera angles, this film captures the way Francis Bacon saw the world. Derek Jacobi is both lovable and loathsome as Bacon. The images from this film stay with you. I highly recommend you see this film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant performances
Atmospheric, smokey, lush. Jacobi plays briliantly against type and Daniel Craig's performance deserved an Oscar. Read more
