Directed by and starring in “Pollock”, Ed Harris paints an intriguing portrait of the groundbreaking artist, profiling Jackson Pollock’s life, career and tragic death. In many respects the film proves to be a traditional biopic. Ed Harris’ vision honors the artist’s achievement in abstract expressionism while acknowledging that Pollock was a tormented, manic-depressive alcoholic. There’s no doubt that Harris captured the essence of a man whose life was as torturous as his art was redeeming with this compassionate but unflinching exploration of Jackson Pollock’s intimate world.
