John Maybury's searing portrait of the EngIish painter Francis Bacon (Derek Jacobi) at the height of his fame in the 1960s is one of the nastiest and most truthful portraits of the artist-as-monster ever filmed. lt's the story of the colossalIy seIf-absorbed painted and his self-destructive younger lover, George Dyer (Daniel Craig), begins when Bacon awakens in his studio one night to discover a burgIar on the premises. Sizing up the thief as an appetizing piece of rough trade, Bacon makes a proposition: if the robber sheds his cIothes and comes to bed with him, he promises, he can have anything he wants... in presuming to take you inside the mind and heart of a major artist, confronting the demonic aspect of the human condition, Love Is The DeviI, goes as far and as deep as any movie has dared. |
