Mr. Turner Movie Review

Turner was known for his use of light and yet, his own life had plenty of melancholic shades. A depressed soul, however, he was not. He slurs to a young woman at a posh dinner party one evening in between mouthfuls of custard and port, “loneliness and solitude are different.” Turner finally does find love and companionship with the widowed landlady, Mrs Booth (Bailey), of a place he often rented. He lives with her, but does not get married. Apart from the fantastic characterizations and top-notch cinematography, the real beauty of Turner’s vision was his ability to find beauty in the seemingly ordinary.

Leigh and his director of photography do a seamless job of translating paintings onto screen and vice-versa, with one flowing into the other, and the countryside appearing just as it would have to Turner on the long walks he is often seen taking. Long after Mr Turner has ended, you realise you can’t claim to understand the man known as the “painter of light” any better. But then, the point may be just that.

Mr Turner is a brilliant piece of art. It is like a painting with many layers of emotions. The film which runs for two and a half hour is not for everyone. The film unfolds slowly, and you’re exposed to a polished work of art. If you love art, you shouldn’t miss this film. Watch Mr Turner for the outstanding performance of Timothy Spall and the terrific direction of Mike Leigh.
