A Diamond in the Rough
Although previous movies about artists haven’t set the bar very high, ‘Mr Turner’ is one of the most authentic films about an individual following this occupation. Director Mike Leigh makes no attempt to string together a conventional biography of Britain’s greatest landscape painter – his fragmented account simply observes a variety of the artist’s interactions with his beloved father, wealthy patrons, colleagues, critics and mistresses during his later years.JMW Turner was born and raised the son of a London barber, and although he became the house-guest of aristocrats, he never adopted the persona of a cosmopolitan sophisticate. The film follows his restless workaholic progress from studio to exhibition opening, from brothel to stately home, and on to rented rooms in cheap lodging houses bordering the subject matter which he loved to paint. The painter’s early work was relatively conventional as he mimicked the styles of some illustrious predecessors. During the latter part of his life – financially secure and with his reputation established – he embarked on a series of ambitious paintings which anticipated the styles of artists who arrived on the scene several decades afterward. Turner’s coarse manners and social awkwardness were infamous, but they are probably exaggerated for dramatic effect in this portrayal. However that’s a minor gripe – at the center of the film is Timothy Spall’s fine portrayal of an eccentric virtuoso going about the business of being an artist.
Probably the best acted and impressive movie of the year
We regularly attend Roger Ebert’s Film Festival and before Mr Ebert’s death, Timothy Spall was one of the event’s special guests. He was there for a showing of Hamlet, I think, and I remember that he was charming and more fun to listen to than I expected. I hadn’t really thought of him as a particularly impressive actor but, once again, Roger was right to single him out.His talents are in full display here enriched by one of the most meticulous productions I’ve ever seen. The supporting cast is as flawless as any lead could ever ask for, as if everyone could see how unusually good the movie was to become. I particularly enjoyed every move and word that came out of his housekeeper, Hannah, unforgettably played by Dorothy Atkinson.
The subject of the movie, the last part of the life of the English artist J M W Turner, is not the stuff of great drama. The man was an eccentric in his later years, and not a particularly pleasant man. But what sustains the movie is the brilliant insight into 19th century English life. Every one of those characters in English novels who never really quite felt true to life is made undeniably real here. And the thing is, it’s being done by Englishmen who are not shying away from full disclosure.
The thing is I usually wait for the DVD with English movies so that I can use the captions, but our local art theater was so beckoning and as it turns out, I needn’t have worried. Often the dialog was impossible to make out, but somehow it didn’t matter at all. It’s not that kind of movie. It’s long, but not slow, and I at least enjoyed every minute of it. The opportunity to be enthralled by such talented people is no everyday thing.
