Stella Pollock
Не многие народы могут похвастаться тем, что из них вышли художники, перевернувшие все представления современников о том, какой должна быть живопись. Казимир Малевич в России… Сальвадор Дали в Испании… А в Америке? В Америке был Джексон Поллок (1912-1956). Человек трагической судьбы, этот необузданный гений за несколько лет совершил революцию в абстракционизме. Его талант открыла в 1941 году художница Ли Краснер, впоследствии ставшая его подругой жизни. Увы, их счастье было недолгим: внутренние демоны, терзавшие душу Поллока, толкали его на путь саморазрушения. В итоге, он прожил потрясающе яркую, но короткую жизнь. Жизнь, которой и посвящен этот фильм.
