The picture at H is blurry, at most two pieces of meat are twisted together, and occasionally naked, but this is not the point, after George was completely squeezed by Francis' dry wood and raging fire, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Francis was a jerk. It's really too bad, one night of love plus the tenderness of the next few days, and then getting rid of George and looking for another man to be happy, no matter how you look at it, it is a typical representative of a bad lover.
Many close-up shots are beautifully shot, and the amount of information surges. For example, in the studio, Francis is standing in the center of George lying down, and all kinds of cleaning in front of the washbasin, undressing, pinching cigarette butts, and the fight of trapped animals are very good. right! In the undressing place, it is obvious that it is not completely naked, but the undressing is unhurried and busy, and there is an indescribable erotic emotion, straight to the point of cuteness, the deer rambling=v=
The soundtrack wins praise, the opening chapter makes people feel very Dangerous, twisted, and depressing, but this is a very familiar sense of danger. I always feel that I have the same experience somewhere. Later, the staff found that the original music was actually Sakamoto Ryuichi! Suddenly I understand that Mao has a feeling of deja vu. Even if the so-called musical style is like Sakamoto Ryuichi, who has dabbled in all kinds of subjects, you can still hear the subtle genetic information in it. Long Yi, I'm Your Brainless Fan=w=
[The film is very short, only about 80 minutes long, and there is almost no story. It just connects various fragments of Bacon's life in a structuralist way, and connects them into Bacon's homosexual love whispers . The film's extensive use of glass and anamorphic lenses presents a distorted painter's world, full of image fragments and grotesque nightmares, and it's almost impossible to understand the subtle hints of the film without understanding the character of Bacon. There is no look up at Bacon's achievements, and there are very few specific paintings displayed. The film reflects only Bacon's spiritual world, and even this is refracted from George. By the end of the film, Bacon is still just a mystery, not knowing how it started or how it will end. 】
To be precise, the film is a pseudo-biographical film of Francis Bacon, but I don’t know anything about this person, so I took “The Love of Love” as my first impression of Francis. The text in parentheses above is from google Yes, he is on point, because he has absolutely no knowledge of Francis and his works. Fragments, dialogues, and hints in the movie can hardly be interpreted immediately like fans can, but even a person who does not know him Just watching this film is still attracted to him, distorted love, extreme violence, grotesque alienation, the artist's dangerous tendencies, and the fragmentary footage still can't stop me from being curious about this stranger. His works should be The type I like.
ps: Another popular actor is found in a gay movie. Could it be that all the famous actors in the United Kingdom have a tradition of making gay movies before they become famous? ! Ok. . This tradition is very good! Keep digging! !

Behind the scenes
The original English name of "Love is the Devil" means "Love is the Devil". In Bacon's eyes, painting, sensuality, and love are always entangled themes. The structure of the film is extremely loose, and there are frequent scenes of the bar where the artists gather, Bacon's studio, the bedroom, and various social places. Through the concatenation of these seemingly unrelated plots, the creator grasps the relationship between Bacon's creation and life in a certain period.
George falls from the sky, and the film uses a very exaggerated long-term landing to show that he suddenly entered Bacon's life, became his model, lover, and then a series of things happened: sadomasochism, drug addiction, suicide... Bacon's paintings sometimes Appearing in the film, Bacon's voiceover also accompanies the narrative. Bacon's life, Bacon's paintings, and this Bacon-inspired film are stylistically aligned.
Wide-angle shots are used in many parts of the film to capture the characters' deformed faces, and there are many reflections from curved mirrors that distort the shape of the world. This intuitively allows people to see the world of Bacon, and his life touches many social taboos. At the same time, it permeates his paintings.
The real Bacon was deeply influenced by the Nordic grotesque painters. There are also many strange paintings: a man with blood all over his body lying on a bed, a slaughtered animal with a pinched part, a man sitting in a chair smoking a cigarette... all of Bacon's performance objects.
Before becoming a director, John Maybury used to be a painter, and he captured the style of Bacon's painting very precisely. There are often delicate images and sounds of burning cigarette butts in the film. For Bacon, this actually means the pleasure of sadomasochism. And in the toilet made of frames, George vomited into the toilet; the long spiral staircase, overlooking a kind of terrifying beauty... It was after watching this film that Soderbergh invited him to shoot "Fantasy Jacket". Similar experiences make the styles of Maybry and Derek Jarman have many similarities: closed spaces, virtual techniques. If the history of British cinema remembers Derek Jarman, it also remembers Maybury - a director who has emerged at a young age.
Tilda Swinton also plays the role of a lesbian artist in the film, often holding a wine glass and swearing in a British accent, far different from the character in Orlando or Edward II, but Just as wonderful.
Bacon played a pivotal role in the 20th century painting circle, and although this film is not a biography, it is also an important model for studying him.
