LOVE IS THE DEVIL
Study for a Portrait of Francis Bacon
A film by John Maybury
ExpIoring the territory where art, love and sex collide, Love is the DeviI, charts the powerful and dangerous relationship between one of Britain's most controversial artists, Francis Bacon (Derek Jacobi) and his Iover and muse George Dyer (Daniel Craig).
This is a dazzIing, audacious feature from one of Britain's most exciting directors (The Edge of Love, The Jacket). In the bawdy decadent world bohemian 1960s Soho, artists, rent boys and drunks populate the casinos and bars including the infamous Colony Room Club, presided over by fouI-mouthed patroness MurieI Belcher (Tilda Swinton).
Derek Jacobi's portrayaI of Bacon is precise and mesmerising, whiIst Daniel Craig gives a raw, expressive performance as the tough petty thief who became the modeI for some of Bacon's most intense and celebrated paintings. The film's fantastic visual style captures the extraordinary energy of Bacon's art; the Iighting and coIour palette are inspired by his work, and the film's atmosphere is one of both beauty and the grotesque.
