Detailing the tortured affair between Francis Bacon (Derek Jacobi) and his working class lover (Daniel Craig), John Maybury’s richly textured vision of ’60s London bohemia, punctuated by moments of startling visual distortion that evoke the painter’s unique style, is a stylish showcase for Jacobi’s dynamic performance. Watch out for Tilda Swinton as Colony Club proprietor Muriel Belcher.

A film by John Maybury
