Mr. Turner	comment	Mr. Turner is a 2014 biopic about the British painter J.M.W Turner, directed by Mike Leigh. Turner is portrayed by Timothy Spall.Turner is a popular painter in early-to-mid 1800s, but beneath his well-respected reputation lies a tortured mind. At odds with much of his family, he spends his time alone with his work except when he occasionally exploits his housekeeper, who is secretly in love with him. The film follows Turner as he travels the countryside, stirs controversy among the artistic establishment, and pursues a romance with a widow.For his work in the film, Spall won the Best Actor award at Cannes.

Mr. Turner / int_586949a8	comment	Genius Slob: Turner is perpetually unkempt and he doesn't care much for politeness or decorum when he works as he snarls and spits at his canvas while painting. His nails are also so large and dirtynote he was famous for using his nails to scrape and shape paint that others openly marvel at them.

Mr. Turner / int_6c81c95	comment	True Art Is Incomprehensible: In-universe, Turner's reputation as an artist starts to suffer when his style becomes more abstractnote Turner was obsessed with light and he'd stare directly at light sources — including the sun — to try and understand how they interacted with the environment. There is speculation that this habit permanently damaged his eyesight and that the abstractions of his later work were representations of how he was actually seeing the world.

Mr. Turner / int_a07afea2	comment	Random Events Plot: The films consists of a series of mostly disconnected vignettes from across multiple decades of Turner's life, many of which are mundane or miscellaneous things like having his picture taken and meeting with acquaintances, without a particular driving force or conflict behind them. Instead the film serves to illustrate Turner's psychology and the society he lived in.
