[edit] Information

Mr. Turner is Mike Leigh's film based on the life of the British landscape painter J.M.W. Turner (1775–1851) during its last quarter of a century. Spanning the last 25 years in the life of Britain's most revered painter, MR. TURNER is a remarkably rich portrait of a complex, contradictory man whose relationships with his family, fellow artists and lovers were often as turbulent as the canvases he painted. Turner, a somewhat eccentric figure is both celebrated and reviled by the public and the art establishment. Yet beyond his artistic achievements, little is known of the man himself and the events of his life, and the double life he chose to lead in his last years. Turner travels , paints and enjoys the hospitality of the country's nobility. He is a popular, if anarchic, member of the Royal Academy of Arts. He has two illegitimate daughters with his ex-mistress, which Turner always denies. Turner is deeply affected by his father's death, and although he possessed a wide-ranging imagination, he was an often incoherent speaker and writer, and his muddled will produced much discord. The artist has previously visited an seaside inn on the coast, with whose widowed landlady Turner creates a close relationship. Throughout the story, Turner is the object of his housekeeper Hannah's undying love, although Turner is often completely uninterested to her. A stunning and beautiful film, Mr. Turner tells the extraordinary story of Britain's greatest ever artist. As Turner produces masterpieces ahead of his time that challenge the art world, so he has to confront his own ever changing circumstances and deal with love and loss. Turner was a trailblazing pioneer of his time, who is now considered one of the most important visual artists in British history. Timothy Spall, seen in the film's title role, was awarded best actor at the Cannes Film Festival. Written and Directed by Mike Leigh ; A UK/France/Germany Co-Production by Film4, BFI British Film Institute, Focus Features International and Thin Man Films with France 3 Cinema, Canal+, Cine+ and France Televisions
