This is the beautiful, delicate, intimate and amusing story of the brittIe but vital relationship 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 (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. ln the evenings, he takes art cIasses and paints until the early hours of the morning. He is resoIutely loyaI and weII-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 Noble's wonderfully observed fiIm gently reveaIs how Lowry's snobbish mother is the obstacIe 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 deIightful moments of humour, as it depicts the impact a bitterly obsessive mother had on one of this country's greatest artists. |
