Love is the Devil


A look at the life and love affair of Francis Bacon, the reknowned British artist. The film is mostly about his romance with his boyfriend, and the small gay community they moved in. The film frequently tries to imitate Bacon's style of distorted, warped waiting, leading to interesting visual and framing effects.
