Product Description

Product Description

This 2 disc special edition contains interviews from the cast and crew and deleted scenes, giving a great insight into the production of one of the best British films in recent years.

A stunning and beautiful film, Mr. Turner tells the extraordinary story of Britain’s greatest ever artist. As Turner (Timothy Spall – The King’s Speech) produces masterpieces ahead of his time that challenge the art world, so he has to confront his own ever changing circumstances and deal with love and loss.

By Antenna TOP 500 REVIEWER on 26 Dec. 2014
Format: DVD
We are introduced to Mr Turner as a middle-aged man, with only hints of his past life as the talented son of a Cockney barber, or his rise to fame as a painter entertained by aristocrats and displayed at the Royal Academy. Nor is there any clear explanation of his messy personal life, with inconvenient visits from a shrewish ex-mistress, justifiably angry over his neglect of her and their two daughters, one now with a child of her own.

Timothy Spall portrays Turner as eccentric and boorish, yet capable of deep affection as shown to the jolly old father who mixes his paints and makes up picture frames, in between shopping for a pig's head in the local market. Perhaps Turner's misogyny, also suggested by the casual sexual exploitation of his downtrodden and doting servant Hannah, stems from the trauma of having a schizophrenic mother carted off to Bedlam when he was a small boy. However, painting is not the sole channel of his sensitivity and vision: he can be moved to tears by Dido's Lament, and, admittedly in a drunken haze, shows empathy for poor Effie, the oppressed wife of Ruskin, portrayed here as a ghastly prig whom Turner delights us by taking down a peg or two.

Although we are shown Turner ageing, pained to hear the public turning against his later more abstract works, and finding solace in a secretive relationship with the Widow Booth, this film is a series of scenes which combine to form a vivid impression not only of Turner as a man but also of early nineteenth century life. The film's attention to period detail is impressive with the inclusion of a myriad of characters who may appear only in passing.

By DavyG TOP 1000 REVIEWER on 13 Dec. 2014
Format: DVD
Mike Leigh's "Mr Turner" deals with events in the last quarter century of the life of Joseph Turner, who can justly lay claim to being Britain's greatest artist. Leigh delivers a stirring depiction of both Turner's professional life, and his relations with the great and good of Victorian Britain, and his somewhat unconventional, often fraught and messy private life.
Timothy Spall gives us a Turner that is outwardly gruff to the point of boorishness, but inwardly is sensitive and somewhat melancholic, and it goes without saying that he is splendid. A pitch perfect cast also includes Dorothy Atkinson as Turner's long-suffering and neglected housekeeper, and Marion Bailey as Mrs Booth, a gentle Margate widower with whom the painter established a long-standing relationship. There are also some great cameos from stalwarts such as Ruth Sheen, James Fleet, and Lesley Manville.
The film doesn't stick to a conventional narrative style; rather, it moves back and forth as the director explores different experiences in the latter part of Turner's life. It's a beautifully whimsical, wistful effort, shot through with droll humour, which also demonstrates a fine sense of the period in question. It offers us a portrait of a flawed man who is also a visionary artist touched by genius; a true British eccentric who has become a national treasure. Top marks to all concerned for this hugely engaging piece of work.

By Keith M TOP 500 REVIEWER on 31 Dec. 2015
Format: DVD
Mike Leigh’s period piece on the later life of esteemed British artist J M W Turner is a typically well-crafted and researched slice of authentic cinema, showcasing a stunning production design and a host of fine acting performances. The most obvious comparator amongst Leigh’s oeuvre for Mr Turner is the film-maker’s take on Gilbert and Sullivan in 1999’s Topsy-Turvy. Once again, Leigh gives us a 'narrative-light’ series of character-driven set-pieces, essentially focusing on an 'artist’ struggling to come to terms with both life and art and presented on-screen via the film’s intoxicating and stunning visual sense – here, courtesy of Suzie Davies and Charlotte Watts’ (Oscar-nominated) production design and the amazing (similarly, Oscar-nominated) cinematography of Leigh’s regular collaborator Dick Pope, whose land and sea-scapes here rank with the man’s very finest work – and must have represented an 'escapist’s dream’ to Pope, who is more used to capturing modern urban decay in his work with Leigh.

Indeed, it is all too easy to let the production values of Mr Turner swamp the film’s other qualities, but I have found that repeat viewings bring rich rewards. Leigh’s cast is superlative and their efforts grow in emotional stature with each viewing. Timothy Spall’s portrayal of the unsympathetic (selfish, brusque, inconsiderate, phlegmatic, lusty) title character is both subtle and complex, a man who communicates in dismissive grunts, yelps and mutterings, whose talent and outlook defy his humble upbringing, and whose feelings of true love are reserved for his father (‘daddy’), superbly played by Paul Jesson – a relationship whose growing poignancy is akin to that between the Mr(s) Stevens (junior and senior - Anthony Hopkins and Peter Vaughan) in The Remains Of The Day.

Unwatchable, tedious, nothing happens. Occasional pretty picture (not nearly enough). He gropes someone. Nothing happens again. He goes to the seaside. Nothing happens again. He grunts a bit. NOTHING HAPPENS. It's a poor excuse for a movie. The character sketches are not interesting because your not told or shown anything insightful, they are totally inaccessible. If there is an exact opposite to engaging they were it. I love Turner as a painter and I love movies and Timothy Spall as an actor. I can't tell you how disappointed I was with this guff.
