Pollock - 8 stars out of 10
Although you may not understand his art, you will certainly understand his life through Ed Harris' rivetting portrayal of Jackson Pollock. He is driven by his abstract artisic vision, by madness, and often by alcohol as Harris recreates these unpredictable personas. Marcia Gay Harden earned her Oscar with an amazing emotional performance, though it's tough to justify anybody winning over Judi Dench. The choreography of Harris taking blank canvases and creating Pollock's famous paintings before our eyes is enough to capture anybody's attention. The artistic direction in this film is amazing and, though Pollock's abrasive behavior is very upsetting at times, any person with an appreciation for art will love watching these influential pieces of art come to fruition.
