Product Description

Product Description

Directed by and starring Academy Award(r) nominee (for Best Actor) Ed Harris (The Truman Show, The Rock), POLLOCK is a beautifully-crafted, stunning drama about the legendary American painter, Jackson Pollock. Fellow artists and lovers, Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner are at the center of New York's 1940s art scene, but as Krasner neglects her work to push Pollock's career forward, Pollock begins to unravel emotionally. Pollock and Krasner escape to the country and marry and, soon, Pollock creates work that makes him the first internationally-famous modern painter in America. But, with fame andfortune, comes a volatile temper and severe self-doubt; before long, Pollock's life threatens to explode. Featuring exceptional performances by a stellar cast, including Academy Award(r) winner Marcia Gay Harden (Meet Joe Black, The First Wives Club), Amy Madigan (Field of Dreams, Uncle Buck), Val Kilmer (The Saint, Heat) and Jennifer Connelly (Requiem for a Dream).

Amazon.com

The long road to Pollock began when actor Ed Harris received a biography of Jackson Pollock from his father, who noticed that his son bore an uncanny resemblance to the artist. Harris's fascination with Pollock matched his physical similarity; the actor chose to direct and star in this impressive film biography. And his devotion assured a work of singular integrity, honoring the artist's achievement in abstract expressionism while acknowledging that Pollock was a tormented, manic-depressive alcoholic whose death at 44 (in a possibly suicidal car crash) also claimed the life of an innocent woman. The film also suggests that Pollock's success was largely attributable to the devotion of his wife, artist Lee Krasner, played with matching ferocity by Marcia Gay Harden in an Oscar®-winning performance.

In many respects a traditional biopic, Pollock begins in 1941 when Pollock meets Krasner, who encourages him and attracts the attention of supportive critic Clement Greenberg (Jeffrey Tambor) and benefactor Peggy Guggenheim (Amy Madigan). As Pollock rises from obscurity to international acclaim, Harris brings careful balance to his portrayal of a driven creator who found peace during those brief, sober periods when art brought release from his tenacious inner demons. The film offers sympathy without sentiment, appreciation without misguided hagiography. As an acting showcase it's utterly captivating. As a compassionate but unflinching exploration of Jackson Pollock's intimate world, there's no doubt that Harris captured the essence of a man whose life was as torturous as his art was redeeming. --Jeff Shannon

I saw this in the movie theater years ago. It is a fairly accurate film about Jackson Pollock and his wife Lee Krasner. Very good acting and a good description of his painting technique. It is somewhat sad.

This is an excellent movie about an amazing artist, his life and his work. His story is a bit sad personally but sometimes I think God blesses some people with such talent, he takes a bit away from other facets of their lives. Ed Harris is, like always, superb.

4.0 out of 5 stars enjoyable drama, good acting, nice art direction
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2014

Aside from what I'd learned in art history classes years ago, I knew nothing about Pollack the artist. This movie covered a lot of ground to show his genius and insanity. I'd not say it went into a lot of depth, but then, it's a tightly produced, smooth-moving drama, not a biography. The acting never got in the way of the storytelling. I really liked the art direction. Lots and lots of wonderful period furniture, appliances, clothes, and artifacts. Nice! Lots of full-scale copies of his paintings were used in the movie. Gave a nice feel.

I seem to recall the movie was well received when it first came out, and has been on my Wanna Watch list since. Finally got to see it and I'm glad I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uncanny portrayal
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2015
Verified Purchase
I purchased this movie two and a half years ago on the recommendation of an artist friend. I honestly did not know much about Pollock, and the few times I had a brush with his art I honestly did not understand it. This movie filled me in on both the man and the artist, but also gave me insights into his art.

As a bio pic this is pretty realistic, down to the uncanny resemblance between Pollock and Ed Harris. Many of the scenes are not exactly pretty, and Pollock himself was - to put it mildly - socially and emotionally challenged. There is also a fair resemblance between Lee Krasner, Pollock's wife and muse, and Marcia Gay Harden.

Having actors that look like their subjects is a nice touch, but the principle roles were acted so realistically that it was as though I were a fly on the wall in most scenes. After watching the film the first time I did some research and the film unfolds in a totally realistic manner. If there were any liberties taken they are subtle.

Instead of going into the gory details of the film I want to focus on how it led me to actually 'get' Pollock's art. There is a sequence where he is being photographed by Hans Namuth who captured details of Pollock's drip technique that, in turn, revealed the logic behind Pollock's art. That, alone, made the movie worthwhile to me because I began to understand and appreciate Pollock's art as genius and something unique.

For me it was an interesting bio pic that is pretty accurate, and a mini lesson in art appreciation. While I came away with an appreciation of Pollock's work, I cannot say I admired him as a human. I did find Lee Krasner to be a near saint, and loved the way both Ed Harris and Marcia Gay Harden brought them to life, warts and all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great acting!

This is such a good movie depicting the life of Jackson Pollock. Solid acting across the board, but particularly from Ed Harris and Marcia Gay Harden. Shows his artistic progression to the drip paintings and shows his struggles with alcoholism and (probably undiagnosed or misdiagnosed) mental illness. Pollock is not by any means my favorite abstract expressionist, but after I read “Jackson Pollock: An American Saga” by Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith, I became more interested in his story and ultimately his art. A tip of the hat to Lee Krasner who put her own art on the back burner to champion the work of her husband.

5.0 out of 5 stars the man who painted energy
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2003

Based on "Jackson Pollock: An American Saga" by Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith, this film is a portrait of a destructive, self indulgent man who though brilliant, was nonetheless a double-distilled jerk. Was it self-interest that motivated the ambitious Lee Krasner to stay with him ? Perhaps the need to nurture, and be a part of a talent greater than hers ? Who can tell what drives such complex relationships, and had she not been at his side, it is doubtful that he would have achieved his current place in art history; perhaps it was a fated, infernal partnership, all for art's sake.
Ed Harris as director and actor brought this story to life with believability and his chemistry with Marcia Gay Harden is superb; he received Oscar nomination for Best Actor, and she won for Best Supporting Actress, and both deservedly so. There is a fight scene towards the end of the film that is so real it sounds as if it is actually happening. I find myself lowering the volume, so my neighbors don't call the police.
Also excellent is Sada Thompson as Pollock's mother, and Amy Madigan (Mrs. Ed Harris in real life) as Peggy Guggenheim.
The cinematography, set, and costume design all capture the look of mid 20th century America, and the soundtrack by Jeff Beal is lovely; I particularly like the sprightly theme that seems sometimes to connect one scene to another.
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the depiction of the creative process, like when he discovered his drip technique, and also loved the representation of the 1950 exhibit at the Betty Parsons Gallery, with the final camera shot zooming into the paint itself.
Though he struggled long and hard for fame, once it was his, he said "I feel like a clam without a shell". Lee survived him by by 28 years, and hopefully, found some peace and joy in life, along with the wonderful work she was to do once on her own.
This is not something to view on a date night, or for fun, but it is a fascinating film, especially for someone in the arts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fedele nei minimi dettagli
Reviewed in Italy on September 26, 2017

Uno dei migliori film (se non il migliore) che testimoniano vita di un'artista. Ed Harris da prova di tutto il suo talento sia come attore che come regista, infatti oltre alla somiglianza fisica è formidabile l'impegno nel riprodurre con fedeltà assoluta non solo il gesto artistico che ha reso Pollock celebre in tutto il mondo (action painting) ma soprattutto la sua vita interiore, le sue fragilità, la sua psiche. Il film ha come proposito quello di presentare l'uomo Pollock così come realmente è stato ed ha vissuto negli ultimi vent'anni, evitando qualsiasi forma di misticismo in puro stile americano. Fin dai primi minuti si percepisce tutta la profondità d'animo che contraddistingue un vero uomo dalla figura semplice di un personaggio da fumetto. I problemi depressivi, l'abuso di alcool, le difficoltà nei rapporti sociali e la frustazione di sentirsi incompreso fanno da anticipo a tutto ciò che Pollock produrrà sulla tela nei primi anni del dopo guerra, l'attenzione del regista è rivolta a tutto ciò che precede l'artista. Nel film Jackson combatte con tenacia tutte le inquetudini che lo circondano mediante la calma e il silenzio che solo una sana dedizione alla pittura gli permettono di avere, si dirà nel film che l'unico momento in cui il pittore non è ubriaco è quando lavora, quindi pittura come terapia, pittura come fuga dalle ossessioni e dai disturbi mentali. La sua pittura si immedesima perfettamente con la volontà di crearsi uno spazio privato dove poter espimere di riflesso tutta la sua verità ed il film lo evidenzia molto, raggiunta la fama Pollock verrà più volte osteggiato da questo meccanismo "star-system" che lo obbliga a fare cose che lo infastidiscono perchè non gli appartengono. Il protagonista proietta tutto il suo bisogno d'amore nella ricerca ossessiva del successo ma una volta raggiunta la vetta ne realizza la mancanza. Anche la moglie non lo ama veramente, lei ama la sua pittura le sue proiezioni, non la persona. Non è un caso che il pittore tradisce più volte la moglie ma questo sempre perchè instancabilmente desideroso di amore, desideroso di vita, gioia. Quando al termine della carriera dopo un anno e mezzo di studi affannosi e intensi non riesce più a trovare un rinnovamento artistico è in quel momento che sopraggiunge la fine, quella ingloriosa che fa da cornice a tutti gli uomini che hanno vissuto contro ogni forma di antonomasia mitizzata, stoica, ancora una volta stupidamente eroica. Lo consiglio a tutte quelle persone che magari conoscono l'artista americano per quello che ha fatto e non per ciò che è stato.

Reviewed in Canada on February 18, 2017

C'est un excellent film (qui mériterait un doublage en français) pour les amateurs de peinture et surtout ceux intéressés par la Création, son phénomène et son processus. Il est intéressant de voir comment l'énergie de la création passe à travers le corps de Pollock pour se rendre sur la toile et les mouvements corporels qu'impliquent la réalisation d'une œuvre d' Art. Un autre film nous montre aussi cela c'est celui de Henri-Georges Clouzot : le Mystère de Picasso dans lequel Clouzot le film en train de peindre à travers la toile. On y découvre comment le trait existe déjà sur la toile avant d'être fait ! Une belle occasion de voir comment l'énergie de la Création traverse le corps de l'humain. C'est là la différence entre les grands artistes et ceux qui s'approprient personnellement leurs œuvres.
