Film Special: Mr. Turner

Timothy Spall delivers an astonishing, Cannes prize-winning performance as 19th-century British painter J.M.W. Turner in this gorgeously shot biopic.

Saturday, May 2, 2015
7:00pm – 9:00pm
BFVAC - Loew Auditorium
Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories: Films
Fee required.

Master filmmaker Mike Leigh (Happy-Go-Lucky) has long been fascinated by J.M.W. Turner, the visionary, radical mid-19th century British painter, known for his eccentricity and off-putting intensity. Anchored by Timothy Spall's astonishing, Cannes prize-winning performance, the film brings tiny details of Victorian England to vivid life, combining domestic intimacy with an epic sweep. As Turner, Timothy Spall took the Best Actor Award at Cannes, capturing the breadth of the man's vulgar, obsessive tragicomic humanity.  D: Mike Leigh, UK, 2014, 149m
