Wikipedia - "Mr. Turner is a 2014 British, French and German biographical drama film, written and directed by Mike Leigh, and starring Timothy Spall, Dorothy Atkinson, Paul Jesson, Marion Bailey, Lesley Manville and Martin Savage. The film concerns the life and career of British artist J. M. W. Turner (1775–1851), who is played by Spall. ... The film was critically acclaimed, and received four nominations each at the 87th Academy Awards and 68th British Academy Film Awards. Describing Turner as 'a great artist: a radical, revolutionary painter', writer/director Leigh explained, 'I felt there was scope for a film examining the tension between this very mortal, flawed individual, and the epic work, the spiritual way he had of distilling the world'."
