Love Is the Devil

Love Is the Devil; John Maybury, 1998, versions: OR,SS, languages: eng, fra

Director: John Maybury

British artist Francis Bacon is among the most important figures of 20th-century art, his oeuvre spanning a wide spectrum of techniques and expressional registers, ranging from photocollage to pop art. This cinematic treatment of Bacon’s life is an explosion of nearly incomprehensible fragments of imaginative visions, static glimpses of everyday rituals and, above all, insights into Bacon’s complicated relationship with his lover George Dyer, who finds living with the egocentric artist impossible to endure. The film focuses on evoking the artist’s feelings of isolation and various mental states, capturing Bacon through his own expressional lens, in part by employing a collage-like narrative technique.
