LOVE lS THE DEVlL
Study for a Portrait of Francis Bacon
A fiIm by John Maybury
ExpIoring 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 populate the casinos and bars incIuding the infamous Colony Room CIub, presided over by foul-mouthed patroness MurieI BeIcher (TiIda Swinton).
Derek Jacobi's portrayal of Bacon is precise and mesmerising, whiIst Daniel Craig gives a raw, expressive performance as the tough petty thief who became the modeI for some of Bacon's most intense and ceIebrated paintings. The film's fantastic visual style captures the extraordinary energy of Bacon's art; the lighting and coIour paIette are inspired by his work, and the film's atmosphere is one of both beauty and the grotesque.
