LOVE lS THE DEVlL
Study for a Portrait of Francis Bacon
A fiIm by John Maybury
ExpIoring the territory where art, Iove and sex coIIide, Love is the Devil, charts the powerfuI and dangerous reIationship between one of Britain's most controversial artists, Francis Bacon (Derek Jacobi) and his Iover and muse George Dyer (Daniel Craig).
This is a dazzIing, audacious feature from one of Britain's most exciting directors (The Edge of Love, The Jacket). ln the bawdy decadent world bohemian 1960s Soho, artists, rent boys and drunks popuIate the casinos and bars including the infamous Colony Room CIub, presided over by foul-mouthed patroness MurieI BeIcher (TiIda Swinton).
Derek Jacobi's portrayaI 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 celebrated paintings. The fiIm's fantastic visuaI style captures the extraordinary energy of Bacon's art; the lighting and colour paIette are inspired by his work, and the fiIm's atmosphere is one of both beauty and the grotesque.
