Looking through a color art book on Bacon actually would make an appropriate substitute to watching the film.

Film Journal International
4 stars out of 5 -- John Maybury's deft, intelligent debut is brutal and engrossing...
Total Film
[The film] succeeds brilliantly in evoking Bacon's claustrophobic world.
Sight and Sound
...Arresting drama, fearlessly brought to life by [Jacobi and Craig]....Maybury gets the whole screen to look like Bacon cavases -- mangled and mesmerizing at once...
Entertainment Weekly
4 stars out of 5 -- This underrated, unconventional biopic of the great painter doesn't skimp on the grit....Maybury plunges us into Bacon's gilded gutter life.

Product Description:
An intriguing biographical look at British painter Francis Bacon focusing on his turbulent and tragic relationship with lover George Dyer, a former boxer and small time thief. I, CLAUDIUS veteran Jacobi gives a fiery performance as the mischievous and emotionally chilly artist who is awakened one night in his ill-kempt studio by Dyer, who has come to rob him. Bacon offers him the chance to take whatever he wants if he stays the night. Dyer stays on as Bacon's lover, beginning a turbulent affair during the course of which both parties' insecurities and destructive natures are revealed. Directed by famed British video artist John Maybury.
