Mr Turner

Another film about art, Mr Turner is a wonderfully uplifting and tragic film that the British have done many times before and always get right. I've seen some of J.M.W Turner's work in museums before but didn't know much about the man who painted those works. You understand why he is one of the predecessors of the impressionist movement through the film. The art he paints, the way he paints them, the places he goes, and the slightly posed quality of the scenery that seems like a painting add to a film that is wonderful to watch. The acting is also supurb and the story engaging as we see into the latter life of this famous painter.
