“Pollock” is a biographical film (I suppose) of the American modern art painter Jackson Pollock (1912-1956). He is portrayed as an active painter who only later in his life reaches recognition and becomes the American modern painter. Ed Harris takes much care in shooting how Pollock created his paintings and the development of his style. Also you get a good insight in the troubled person of Pollock himself. “Pollock” comes in the line of many other films about artists which are usually not too great and the same goes for this film.
