This is a truly modern film. The name of this film is "love is the devil", and I hate its Chinese translation "Love and Paint", it always conveys an ambiguous and unspeakable erotic atmosphere in the film, although to some extent This is actually the case, but it is too eye-catching and misleading, and it is also too easy to divert the viewers' attention from the connotation of the film itself.

Francis Bacon, the most important modernist painter in Britain in the 20th century, the anxiety and panic of human nature, the disease of the times, loneliness and hopelessness, the important thing is the mood, sometimes the mood is the expression of desire, and sometimes it is not.

  • Francis Bacon: In all the motor accidents I've seen, people strewn across the road, the first thing you think of is the strange beauty, the vision of it, before you think of trying to do anything. It's to do with the unusualness of it. I once saw a bad car accident on the large road, and the bodies were strewn about with broken glass from the car and the blood and the various possessions, and it was, in fact, very beautiful. I think the beauty in it is terribly elusive, but it just happened to be the disposition of the bodies, the way they lay in the blood.
