Guinness creates a unique, full-bodied porttrait of the artist as an always-young man.

Ao mesmo tempo comovente e hilário, o filme traz Guinness em uma de suas melhores performances - e a luta do pintor Gulley Jimson para realizar sua visão é inesquecível.

Quite probably the best film ever made about a painter.

Imagine The Three Stooges by way of ‘The New Yorker' magazine, and you’re getting close.
