About the movie
Pollock, a biographical drama film, depicts the life story and journey of Abstract Expressionist Jackson Pollock (Ed Harris), who was featured in Life magazine at the end of the 1940s. Before Pollock reached his fame, he lived with his brother in a tiny apartment in New York City, drank too much and exhibited an occasional painting in group shows. That's when he met artist Lee Krasner (Marcia Gay Harden), who put her career on hold to be his companion, lover, champion, wife and, in essence, caretaker. To get him away from the booze, insecurity and the stress of city life, they move to the Hamptons where nature and sobriety help Pollock achieve a breakthrough in his style. Critics praised him but old demons followed. This film is a true portrait of life and art.
