He fell from the skylight, an angel or a devil. Georgein leather is nothing more than a thief who infiltrates the studio of painter Francis Bacon As he was rummaging through the boxes, Bacon stopped him and took him to the bed. Thus began the life of the thief and the painter. George began as Bacon's painting model and lover, appearing on occasions large and small. At an art exhibition, Bacon and George pointed at the works. They came to a tailor's house and Bacon made a dress for George; they went to a bar and listened to the foul language of the people, and Bacon introduced George to them. They will also attend formal networking occasions and discuss the current artistic creations with those artists. The creations of these artists are full of personality, such as a photographer who likes to shoot naked women. Bacon was even more creative, he seemed to have bloodthirsty qualities, and after watching a boxing match, he fantasized about the blood splattering his face. In his paintings, he shows his uncontrollable fear. Blood-stained bodies often appear in his dream demons. Bacon's works are actually created in blood, semen, joy and fear. He kept needing different stimuli. He watched George go to sleep quietly, wake up and dress up for all kinds of exciting parties. His enjoyment with George also has a different pursuit. George's whip and cigarette butts gave Bacon pain, but also felt two-way pleasure.
But the harmonious relationship did not last long. George began to become nervous and fragile, and alcohol and drugs became the necessities of his life. Bacon looked irritably at the studio that had been cluttered by George. They went to a casino party together, and Bacon took a boy to the house. George woke up on the sofa, came home, and shouted hysterically for Bacon to open the door for him, only to be refused. They still attended various occasions together, but they were already separated from each other. George was tortured and had nightmares. He began to use his own childishness to hug, hide the drugs in Bacon's studio and attract the police, get into trouble, and Bacon decides to send George away. In the hotel, a delirious George climbed to the roof and nearly committed suicide. But George eventually committed suicide, dying in a car accident. Under him were crystal glass fragments, and the big hole on his forehead was terrifying. But there is no doubt that, in the eyes of Francis Bacon, blood and the human body together are beautiful. Bacon's painting exhibition opened in Paris, and he walked calmly at the entertainment party, dealing with the crowd. But inside, Francis Bacon couldn't help but miss George  。

    I love Daniel Craig. The thief he played was an angel destroyed by the painter. Appreciate this sentence "We are always gleefully drawn to prison, but choose to escape when responsibility arises; we are always addicted to the pleasure of the flesh but fail to see the pain and disappointment of others."

    George is just a low-level mortal, although his strong body (Daniel Craig, I'm so good!) and innocent personality satisfied the painter Bacon's temporary sensuality, and also inspired him some creative inspiration, but the gap between the two has been a long time. It's becoming more and more obvious that people from different worlds can't be forced to twist together after all. Bacon was unmistakably selfish, and his indifference to George's emotional and psychological problems caused him to go further and further down the road of collapse. But is it because of his nature, or is it his creation, his gloomy, twisted, crazy art that makes him this way? Perhaps the two cannot be distinguished at all. The film’s cinematic language is very strong (the staircase’s rotation is instantly reminiscent of Vertigo’s stair-stretching shots), and although it doesn’t directly use an original painting, the cinematography uses mirrors, glass, and fisheye lenses, as well as some surreal psychedelic shots to create bacon. The exaggerated, deformed and distorted nightmare atmosphere of the work is very artistic in aesthetics!

Love Is the Devil: Study for a Portrait of Francis Bacon quotes

  • Francis Bacon: [Opening line] Like a bomb exploding in reverse. Thoughts, ideas... fragments of images. Shards of memory, like shrapnel, all come back to me, and are forced back out in a cruel pastiche of experience.

  • Francis Bacon: When I went into the house of pleasure, I didn't stay in the room where they celebrate acceptable modes of loving in the bourgeois style. I went into the rooms which are kept secret and I leaned and lay on their beds. I went into the rooms which are kept secret which they consider it shameful even to name. But there is no such shame for me because then, what sort of poet, and what sort of artist would I be?
