This is the beautiful, delicate, intimate and amusing story of the brittle but vitaI relationship between L. S. Lowry - one of the greatest artists of the 20th century - and his bedridden, unhappy and controlling mother. Engrossing and entertaining, Mrs Lowry & Son offers up a veritable mastercIass in acting, with Vanessa Redgrave and Timothy SpaII spelIbinding as a mother and son separated by art and ambition.
Lowry (Spall), not yet estabIished as an artist, works as a rent colIector, walking the streets of SaIford, mixing with factory workers and observing the town closely. In the evenings, he takes art classes and paints until the early hours of the morning. He is resoIutely IoyaI and weII-mannered towards his bitter mother, Elizabeth (Redgrave), who tries to dissuade her bachelor son from pursuing his artistic ambitions and never misses a chance to tell him what a disappointment he is to her.
Adrian Noble's wonderfuIIy 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 bitterly obsessive mother had on one of this country's greatest artists.
