Review of Pollock (2000) by Julian T — 23 Jun 2010
This is one of the truly great biographic films (and dramas in general) of all time. I am an artist and have a degree in art history, and this film is about as acurate a depiction of Pollocks life as there can be.
Jackson Pollock was one of the most important figures in the history of art, and without a doubt the most important and influential American artist in history. Harris is spectacular bringing Pollocks tragic story to life.
As its director, Harris encapsulates Pollock's artistic brilliance and creativity. The movie is held together by Harris's ability to capture both Pollock's child-like innocence, and the intense darkness which eventually consumed him.
Harden is also at the top of her game as Pollock's wife Lee Krasner, another influential abstract expressionist painter. An incredible job of story telling, and capturing the essence of the most important American artist in history.
