The TVI Take
Mike Leigh's 2014 J.M.W. Turner biopic anchored by Timothy Spall (Cannes Best Actor) as the early-19th-century English Romantic landscape painter.
The structural commitment to letting Spall's grunting-and-spitting physical performance register Turner's specific cognitive style — and to Dick Pope's painterly cinematography that approximates Turner's own visual language — is the catalog's most-formally-ambitious biographical work.
