J. M. W. Turner Movie Trailer

It seems like movies about painters are all the rage. This one looks really good with Timothy Spall as Turner. It should be in the US in December. Perhaps they will have another discussion after the showing similar to the Tim's Vermeer one by C. F. Payne.

I saw a huge special exhibition of Turner at the MET in 2008. It is an amazing body of work when you see more than one or two. His life story is very interesting.
