“Mr. Turner” movie quotes tell the story of renowned British artist J.M.W. Turner. The biographical drama film was written and directed by Mike Leigh. After premiering at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival in competition for the Palme d’Or, “Mr. Turner” opened in the United Kingdom on October 31, 2014, then in the United States on December 19, 2014.
In “Mr. Turner,” J.M.W. Turner’s life, both personally and professionally, is chronicled. Turner was considered not only just one of the greatest British watercolor landscape painters ever, but also skilled in the art of oil painting. Additionally, his late work delved into what is now considered abstract art, even if it wasn’t widely accepted during his life, spanning from 1775 to 1851.
But J.M.W. Turner was more than an artist. He had a very close relationship with his father, William (Paul Jesson), with whom he lived, his housekeeper Hannah (Dorothy Atkinson), with whom he had a romantic relationship and with his landlady, Sophia Booth (Marion Bailey), with whom he also had a romantic relationship. But despite these close ties, he remained controversial and eccentric, though widely praised for his artistic abilities.
“Mr. Turner” joins the holiday 2014 movie season which also includes other films such as ”The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies,” ”Annie,” ”Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb,” "Life Partners," "Comet," "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1," "Horrible Bosses 2, "Penguins of Madagascar," "Dumb and Dumber To," "Foxcatcher," "Beyond the Lights," "The Homesman," "Interstellar," "The Theory of Everything," "Nightcrawler," "Big Hero 6," "Before I Go to Sleep," and "Horns.”
