LOVE IS THE DEVlL
Study for a Portrait of Francis Bacon
A fiIm by John Maybury
Exploring the territory where art, Iove and sex collide, Love is the DeviI, charts the powerful and dangerous relationship between one of Britain's most controversiaI 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). ln the bawdy decadent world bohemian 1960s Soho, artists, rent boys and drunks popuIate the casinos and bars including the infamous CoIony Room Club, presided over by fouI-mouthed patroness Muriel Belcher (Tilda Swinton).
Derek Jacobi's portrayaI of Bacon is precise and mesmerising, whilst DanieI Craig gives a raw, expressive performance as the tough petty thief who became the model for some of Bacon's most intense and ceIebrated paintings. The fiIm's fantastic visuaI styIe captures the extraordinary energy of Bacon's art; the Iighting and colour paIette are inspired by his work, and the fiIm's atmosphere is one of both beauty and the grotesque.
