As it is, it's so respectful of Pollock that it's not quite worthy of the bastard he sometimes was.
"Pollock" covers everything from the painter's early days in Greenwich Village circa 1941, where his troubled partnership with Krasner began, to the years he spent in his studio at his home in East Hampton, Long Island, where his earlier cubist influences flowered into a style that was completely his own.
Harris puts plenty of blood and soul into his portrayal of Pollock, revealing layers of complexity to the man that make perfect sense, given the way so many of his paintings are resolutely complete works of art that nonetheless feel like half-resolved conflicts.

 Harris shines -- and makes his point -- in 'Pollock'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The film picks up Pollock's life in the early '40s, while America is at war and he's a 4-F (for mental instability) Greenwich Village artist dabbling unsuccessfully in cubism and surrealism, and struggling with alcoholism and the challenge of finding his own personal artistic vision and style.
Moreover, it economically communicates exactly what Pollock was trying to accomplish as an artist and exactly what abstract expressionism is -- while leaving room for a skeptic to question its validity and, indeed, question the whole direction of modern art.
But Harris is somehow even more believable -- and impressive as an actor -- in Pollock's less malicious moments, when he's struggling with some irresolvable artistic problem, or bouncing around one of his mural-size canvases flinging paint in a dance of exhilarated inspiration, or just feeling frustrated and neglected.
