It took Ed Harris ten years to bring Jackson Pollock's story to the screen, and the result is a highly personal, rigorous, and thoughtful analysis of a truly troubled genius. Beginning with a shot of Pollock at the height of his success, giving an autograph to the woman with whom he would eventually die in a car crash, the movie backtracks nine years to find him struggling to make his mark in 1940s New York. Prone to self-doubt, impotent rage, and drunkenness, Pollock is rescued from his demons by Lee Krasner, a fellow painter who becomes his wife, confidante, and most tireless champion.
