MR. TURNER
A film by Mike Leigh
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Music Composed by
Gary Yershon
(Happy Go Lucky, Another Year)
Mr. Turner explores the last quarter century of the great if eccentric British painter J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851). Profoundly affected by the death of his father, loved by a housekeeper he takes for granted and occasionally exploits sexually, he forms a close relationship with a seaside landlady with whom he eventually lives incognito in Chelsea, where he dies. Throughout this, he travels, paints, stays with the country aristocracy, visits brothels, is a popular if anarchic member of the Royal Academy of Arts, has himself strapped to the mast of a ship so that he can paint a snowstorm, and is both celebrated and reviled by the public and by royalty.
Composer Gary Yershon, who has scored all of Mike Leigh’s films since Happy Go Lucky, returns with another triumphant work. Their collaboration continues with the short A?RUNNING?JUMP, whose score is also included on this release.
Sony Pictures Classics will open MR. TURNER on December 19 for Academy consideration.
