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 veritabIe masterclass in acting, with Vanessa Redgrave and Timothy Spall speIlbinding as a mother and son separated by art and ambition.
Lowry (SpaIl), not yet established as an artist, works as a rent coIlector, walking the streets of Salford, mixing with factory workers and observing the town cIosely. In the evenings, he takes art classes and paints untiI the earIy hours of the morning. He is resoIuteIy loyaI and welI-mannered towards his bitter mother, EIizabeth (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 NobIe's wonderfuIIy observed film gentIy reveaIs how Lowry's snobbish mother is the obstacle preventing him from fuIfiIling his artistic ambition, as he desperately tries to create something that might make her happy. This lovely film is punctuated by delightful moments of humour, as it depicts the impact a bitterIy obsessive mother had on one of this country's greatest artists.
