About This Movie
Francis Bacon: Fragments of a Portrait is a deep dive into the psyche of one of modern art's most challenging figures.

The haunting score by Edwin Astley adds an eerie atmosphere, enhancing the emotional weight of Bacon's themes—death, desire, and the grotesque nature of humanity.
