Mr.Turner (Blu-Ray) (2014) |
<<back |

 |
This 2014 film depicts the latter part of the life of English painter J.M.W. Turner and is remarkable for more than just its dramatic portrayal. The film absorbs some of the reputed surly personality of Turner himself and the use of light in the film's cinematography and landscape echo his paintings.
The film almost pauses at moments to show us gorgeous views of seascape and landscape in haunting light that likely inspired Turner. It is the cinematographer's ode to the painter. The mood of the film can also be somewhat brooding as was Turner, even abstract like his paintings in that the story can take a back seat to merely expressing his personality in certain scenes. This is something that is also a tribute to the tremendous acting talent of Timothy Spall.
At other times the clouds part and we see the surprisingly touching and compassionate side of Turner that we also know existed.
