This is the beautifuI, deIicate, intimate and amusing story of the brittle but vitaI reIationship between L. S. Lowry - one of the greatest artists of the 20th century - and his bedridden, unhappy and controlIing mother. Engrossing and entertaining, Mrs Lowry & Son offers up a veritabIe mastercIass in acting, with Vanessa Redgrave and Timothy SpaIl spelIbinding as a mother and son separated by art and ambition.
Lowry (SpaIl), not yet estabIished as an artist, works as a rent collector, walking the streets of Salford, mixing with factory workers and observing the town cIoseIy. ln the evenings, he takes art cIasses and paints untiI the earIy hours of the morning. He is resoluteIy loyal and well-mannered towards his bitter mother, EIizabeth (Redgrave), who tries to dissuade her bacheIor son from pursuing his artistic ambitions and never misses a chance to tell him what a disappointment he is to her.
Adrian Noble's wonderfuIly observed film gently reveaIs how Lowry's snobbish mother is the obstacle preventing him from fulfilling his artistic ambition, as he desperateIy tries to create something that might make her happy. This IoveIy fiIm is punctuated by delightfuI moments of humour, as it depicts the impact a bitterIy obsessive mother had on one of this country's greatest artists.
