Excellent film. I saw Gary Taylor perform 'The Genius of J M W Turner' in Edinburgh in 2002. Great actor.
We happened upon Gary today in Stratford upon Avon over mutual puzzlement over the amount of garages at a property for sale (long story). We had the most marvellous conversation with him and he imparted much sage advice on us. He pointed us towards this production as well as Room 88. We’ve watched both tonight and loved them.
Such impressive performances and all done in one shot. Such a treat. Thank you.
Today I met Gary by chance at a retail park in Leamington, he'd remarked about my Jaguar, a marque he professed to having always admired. He mentioned his being an actor and pointed me in the direction of this production. I must admit I had not heard of him, yet somehow he seemed vaguely familiar...
Coming upon this production I also had scant appreciation of the works of J MW Turner. I was soon hooked into this portrayal, it is superbly acted, directed, moving and praiseworthy.

I have come back to watch it again. Just outstanding, terrific acting by all.
I watched this a few years ago and have come back to watch it again. Utterly, utterly a fantastic production and astounding acting and direction. Note to Hollywood, stop doing all the crap films you have been doing for years and learn from this. This is how you make outstanding films that people will actually remember. My heartfelt appreciation and thanks to all involved. A moving and realistic representation that deserves a much wider audience.
As a teenage OD in the Andrew I was taken by Turner's paintings, without knowing anything about the artis. Now I've had the pleasure of seeing the longer "Mr Turner" as well as this short - and my interest in Turner, the person, is awakened. Thank you for posting.
I have watched this six times and I have to say that it is a little masterpiece!!! Gary Taylor is brilliant, in mood, manner and voice and a convincing painter as well.All the cast were great.The story weaves in beautifully with Turners known life,in a convincing manner.Every thing feels so right about this!!! I have not seen Mike Leigh's larger canvas yet,I'm almost frightened to.This is the highest praise that I can give this.
Bravo!!!

Laszlo Gyorik I totally agree, I loved it! It made me cry at the end. I think your paintings are so wonderful Mr Turner !!!!
Congratulations, Mr. Taylor. Such a beautiful piece. Love the one shot, and the apparitions. Tina made me cry with laughter and then the final shot sent shivers down my spine at how poignant it was. Thanks for having it online for the world to see! X
Beautifully done, Turner has been my hero since the first day I saw his work at The Frick....there's very little I've not read and seen of his worldwide...we all had to make the pilgrimage to London, Petworth House, the V&A...Tate...
This was a Masterpiece in so many respects, Turners painting process was well researched...Bravo.
Thank you very much, very pleased you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting
An evocative short film, very well acted and with a breath-taking ending. A real heartfelt tribute to the great painter of sunshine and light.
Excellent film, with an absolutely standout performance by Gary Taylor. I don't know anything about Mr. Turner. I want to know, now!
The short film is an absolute work of art. It is one of the finest things I have ever watched. Thank you so much.
That's very kind, thank you, so glad you enjoyed it.
this is way better than the film and bit if a tear run at times very strong and sweet film every line is real and meaningful loads of nuance thanks for the upload
THIS IS MAGNIFICENT!! Thanks for sharing!
What a brilliant film. Gary Taylor is an outstanding actor. We look forward to more from this team.
Mr. Booth, thank you for uploading this, way, way better than the big pic if you ask me !
A masterpiece! Wonderfully written, acted and filmed. Mr. Turner's inspiration is still working. Thank you for showing it.
Wow, what a gem!
What a wonderful snip it of his life. Love the rag work and the dip of the pc. of wood to make straight lines instead of a rigger brush.
I will definately be sharing this with my peers at Curtin University as a study. This is brilliant. Thank you for showing us what the life an artist is like. I can totally relate to Mr Turner where nothing else matters but the paint and the canvas and the voice that drives you to go go go until......YES..... That familiar set at the end, where he is finally finished. I can relate to this wholeheartedly. What an inspiration.
You guys are a gift to the art of making movies. Every aspect of the production is perfect.
Ah, that's very nice of you to say, thank you!
Fantastic. Thank you for making this.
Thank you for watching :)
Excellent masterpiece of film work! One of my most (if not the best) enjoyed films I've seen in months. Thank you for your efforts.
Thank you, Fred, that's very kind of you to say - so pleased you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Thought that was marvelous. Great acting with lots of truths.
Very good - I enjoyed this portrayal of JMW Turner very much.
This was just beautiful.
Seemed true to the Turner spirit.
Crikey! This has popped up on my youtube for years. I love turners work so not sure why i kept passing it by. Its remarkable. I love timothy spall, but that was more than an equal performance. I would love to know more about the rehearsal needed to pull this masterpiece off.
Thank you very much, this is one of our oldest shorts which doesn't get huge amounts of views, but we're still very proud of it.
Although it appears to be one continuous shot, we couldn't logistically film it that way (mainly because we couldn't get all the actors together on the same day), so there are a couple of hidden cuts. We would rehearse it a few times until I had the camera work down and Gary knew what he was supposed to paint and when, and then cross our fingers and shoot it. It was fairly complex but a lot of fun to make.
@@MikeBoothFilm fascinating . I am a portrait artist. Makes my job look very simple :-)
A masterful work of art. Thank you!
Thank you for watching! Pleased you enjoyed it :)
Absolutely beautiful, I believe you captured that part of his life amazingly. Thank you.
Many thanks for your comment, very pleased you enjoyed it.
As an Artist myself, It was quite a moving experience for me because it was so relatable. Thanks again.
Just love it. Brillant.
a work of genius! you cannot fake a cockney accent; this is the genuine article. loveley stuff.
Thank you David, so pleased you like it
Wonderful acting It made me shed a tear or two
Thank you for watching, I'm glad you found it worthwhile
Yes very worthwhile .
Fantastico! Best film I have seen all year. I beseech you Mr. Taylor, do more.
." Napoleon was fighting"
+David Goldblatt This is great. but have you seen "The Impressionists" A must see....
i will check it out. Thank you.
That's the best Turner video I seen going to try the painting .
Ce court-métrage est simplement un joyau. Ecrit par Gary Taylor, son principal et néanmoins brillant interprète, il passe en revue quelques aspects de la très torturée mais sympathique sensibilité du peintre. De plus, on assiste en "direct" à la pose des premières sous-couche de l'un des plus célèbres tableau de Turner "Slaveship [...].
Bon, petit bémol pour les gens ne parlant pas l'anglais, le film n'est pas traduit...
Mais il en vaut la peine, jusqu'aux dernières secondes où Mike Booth reprend en écho la mise en scène de la fin de "Roublev" de Tarkovski.
Merci Jean-Paul pour ce beau cadeau de dimanche matin !
"I got a nighthood I wear it every night to go to bed , keeps me warm".
Beautiful!
Utterly awesome. Thank you.
Beautiful. So much with so little.
Thank you for your comment, it's much appreciated
Mr Booth, you've knocked it out of the park again. Kudos! May I suggest a short about Oscar Wilde, or Ambrose Bierce?
Thanks, Laurie! I'm not sure what my next film will be as I've got an unfinished book that I need to finish this year, but those are great suggestions - I'll add them to the list of potentials :)
Yes, good call Sir/Madam.
terrific. enjoyed this far more than the mike leigh big budget movie.
Many thanks for watching and commenting, very pleased you enjoyed it!
What a lovely film and all done in one shot, amazing! Where can I buy that picture!
The painting of the slave ship is pointing out the humanity of man. Abolition of slaves was soon to take place in England, though America kept it going for a while longer. Man is born into an age and that age is not perfect. It is a social comment on that event and history of that age.
Wow he did a pretty good rendition of Typhoon coming on pretty quickly😳
I watched this today and thought it very good. I have read a lot about Turner ,and although the Timothy Spall film was good , Turner was not as miserable as he portayed him to be.
An excellent gem.
Tien Pai Thank you for watching it, pleased you enjoyed it :)
The Slaver...or, The slaver of the heart of an artist! Stevie.

English is my mother tongue but I struggle with this accent. Could you possibly provide a closed caption? It would help so much. (The auto-generated caption is not good.)
I'll make the subtitles especially for you this week (the auto captions are hysterically awful)
@@MikeBoothFilm Thank you so much. I am embarrassed to say I had to stop the video and go to something else because I was so disheartened at what I was missing. I am grateful.
Thanks for letting me know, I'll drop you a message when it's ready
Subs are done now, should hopefully be a bit easier to understand
@@MikeBoothFilm I am speechless. And crying. Thank you for this film.
It's only 26 mins long is there another part
+seer charlotte No, this is a standalone short film
Loaded with unfortunate anachronisms, such as the term ‘grounded’, when referring to stopping the cats going outside. Very disappointing.
Excellent
sensational video are there any more made with gary and tina 😊
