Love is the Devil *** (1st Time) 1998, Maybury, Gb/Fr/Jap The turbulent, doomed love affair between painter Francis Bacon and petty crook George Dyer. More aritificial than it would seem, a witty dissection of the painter, who is portrayed with a suitably grim love for all things male and beautiful by Derek Jacobi. The interiors all have a certain claustrophobic, strained feel, like a Bacon painting come to life. (My review)
A Film Johnnie (1st Time) 1914, Nichols, US Chaplin the troublemaker visits the Keystone lot and causes problems. Banal early short, very unfunny and dismal in print quality.
Charlie's Triple Trouble (1st Time) 1918, Chaplin/White, US A bum becomes the new janitor of a nut house, while cops track a robbery. Muddled Chaplin short, rather boring and testing for even his greatest of admirers.
