Brilliant! Ed Harris is not only interpreting Jackson Pollock (January 28, 1912 – August 11, 1956).......he IS Pollock! The beginning might be a bit foggy for the uninitiated, but then again, if you chose to watch this movie you already know a bit about the artist. Shows the complex, bio-polar and alcoholic personality of the artist without being vulgar. We learn about his relationships, family and artistic development chronologically. We discover how he searched for a distinguished style and his famous Dripping-Technique. Excellent faithful reconstructions of real life events, interviews and photographs of which we all know are conserved on film (even on YouTube!). All other cast framed Harris' work wonderfully, especially Marcia Hayden as Lee Krasner, Pollock's artist wife.
Historically and Biographically totally accurate.
Watchable with Teenagers.
Short, (without being over pretentious) a very good biopic: an instructive BIOgraphy within a very well acted moving PICture.
(I only take off one * for the sometimes abrupt editing)
