Francis Bacon viewed through his own twisted, distorted, yet beauty and image driven lense. Love Is The Devil: Study For A Portrait Of Francis Bacon is just that, a study. The film makes no claims to present a finished and rounded portrait of the mans mind or life, just a sketch that captures the essence of Bacon from a particular point of view.
