Critic Reviews for Love Is the Devil
All Critics (20) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (14) | Rotten (6) | DVD (1)
A short but suitably warped account of the love affair between the painter Francis Bacon (Derek Jacobi) and a small-time criminal named George Dyer (Daniel Craig), who would model for some of Bacon's most convulsive works.
Maybury and his cinematographer, John Mathieson, make the film itself look like a Bacon... A viewer who has never seen a Bacon would be able to leave this film and identify one instantly in a gallery.
a celluloid portrait every bit as grimly disturbing as anything that Bacon himself produced, and far too darkly imaginative to be tarred with the 'biopic' brush.
Powerfully well-acted.
a riveting and disquieting portrait of a riveting and disquieting painter
But whatever I think of Bacon and his art work I was, nevertheless, still dazzled by the breathless performance of Derek Jacobi...
Audience Reviews for Love Is the Devil
"...we all have nightmares. They can't be as horrific as life." Deep, dark and unsettling. An artful obliteration of the line between genius and madness.
