Summary: Portrayal of human angst
Comment: I purchased this film after I attended the Francis Bacon retrospective at Tate Britain '08. The film is a hedonistic homage that is as morbidly beautiful and fascinating as Bacons' own art work. The film borrows a considerable amount of imagery from his work, from the isolating spotlights to references to the triptych which portrays Dyers demise, all of which serve to provide a valuable link between the life, the loves and the art of Francis Bacon. Jacobi and Craig give excellent performances, their portrayal of Bacon and Dyer is truly believable. A great film, my enjoyment of which I believe was highentened by seeing Bacons exhibition.

Summary: Werid But Beautiful.
Comment: I bought this and saw it last night, it was without doubt a little werid but somewhat beautiful. It starts out with Franics Bacon going to George Dyer's apartment and mourning for his upsettling death, then it swtiches to seven years before when they first meet and become doomed lovers. Bacon is more in focus of his paintings and his odd friends while Dyer is falling deeper for him so much that he begins to lose his sainty and destorys his life. The peformances are brilliant, Derek Jacobi is excellent and the right choice as Bacon, he can show little emotion like crueltiy and bitterness while narrating in the background. Daniel Craig is without doubt amazing and brilliant, his final moments still haunt me ever since and that's what I call very good acting. He can show emotions more like tenderness and his mad obesstion of S and M. It's not rubbish or good, there's something about it that made me hypoisted and in awe of it's dark beauty. It's worth seeing if it's a little short and fading to black a lot but there's a rare thing about it that made me give it four stars.
