Mr. Turner

Portrayed with growling gusto by British actor Timothy Spall, this decades-spanning depiction of the eccentric artist J.M.W Turner, finds humour and humanity in the story of a man frequently at odds with his era. While its richly-detailed, painterly aesthetic allows you to see the world as he did.
