A biopic of noted painter Francis Bacon (Derek Jacobi), this film focuses on the artist's unlikely and tumultuous relationship with erstwhile thief George Dyer (Daniel Craig), who became Bacon's lover after a botched break-in. After the unique beginning to their love affair, the well-connected and volatile artist assimilates Dyer into his circle of eccentric and often cold friends, including the caustic Muriel Belcher (Tilda Swinton), as Dyer's struggle with addiction strains their bond.

A short but suitably warped account of the love affair between the painter Francis Bacon (Derek Jacobi) and a small-time criminal named George Dyer (Daniel Craig), who would model for some of Bacon’s most convulsive works. The action, for what it’s worth, starts in 1963 and ends in 1971, but the film's director, John Maybury, is only fitfully tempted by the demands of plot. He prefers to function in impressionistic bursts; we get a series of flickering, semi-linked scenes in which Bacon gambles, brushes his teeth with bleach, drinks with his appalling cronies, braces himself for masochistic sex, and even occasionally begins to paint—although, since the film was forbidden to show any authentic Bacons, he never gets very far. What rescues the enterprise from indulgence is, first, the audacity of Jacobi’s performance, with its blend of caution and abandonment, and also Maybury’s honorable attempt not so much to mimic the blurting violence of Bacon’s imagery as to suggest the ways in which it was triggered by ordinary life. Released in 1998.(Streaming on Amazon, YouTube, and other services.)

Unconventional, audacious and uncompromising in every sense, John Maybury's "Love Is the Devil" is a very personal interpretation of the destructive relationship between British painter Francis Bacon and his lover and muse, George Dyer. This provocative film's unflinchingly unsympathetic portrayal of the artist --- ferociously played by Derek Jacobi --- and its often distancing, experimental style, make it clearly an item for niche audiences. But it nonetheless looks certain to become a talked-about release backed by plenty of critical heft and a benchmark for future films about artists.
