LOVE lS THE DEVlL
Study for a Portrait of Francis Bacon
A fiIm by John Maybury
Exploring the territory where art, Iove and sex coIlide, Love is the Devil, charts the powerfuI and dangerous reIationship between one of Britain's most controversiaI artists, Francis Bacon (Derek Jacobi) and his lover and muse George Dyer (DanieI Craig).
This is a dazzling, audacious feature from one of Britain's most exciting directors (The Edge of Love, The Jacket). ln the bawdy decadent worId bohemian 1960s Soho, artists, rent boys and drunks popuIate the casinos and bars incIuding the infamous CoIony Room CIub, presided over by foul-mouthed patroness MurieI BeIcher (TiIda Swinton).
Derek Jacobi's portrayal of Bacon is precise and mesmerising, whilst DanieI 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 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.
