Pollock

Pollock is a 2000 American biographical film about American painter Jackson Pollock. It was directed by Harris and starred Ed Harris, Marcia Gay Harden, Jennifer Connelly, Robert Knott, Bud Cort, Molly Regan, and Sada Thompson. Marcia Gay Harden earned the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal as Pollock's wife, Lee Krasner. Ed Harris was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor for his depiction of Pollock. Harris's film was a long-term personal endeavor inspired by his earlier study of Jackson Pollock's 1989 book Jackson Pollock: An American Saga.

Pollock was a passion project for actor/director Ed Harris that took over a decade to complete. Harris' enthusiasm for the material is clear not just in his competent direction, but also in his main performance as the titular painter, Jackson Pollock. Because of his temper and alcoholism, Pollock was a famously unpleasant man to be around and work with. With this Hollywood picture, one of the better attempts at capturing the artist's once-in-a-generation brilliance in an honest manner, his sad life is brought to the big screen in a fair but ultimately appreciative way.
