Description

A painter seeks revenge in this subtle look at the interrelationship between artist and critic. Set at the beginning of the 20th century, THE PORTRAIT begins when a portrait painter named Henry MacAlpine gives up his successful London life in favor of exile to a small island off the coast of France. He invites the powerful and influential critic William Naysmith--his former mentor--to visit so that he can paint Naysmith’s portrait. However, MacAlpine also has grievances against the critic, and in fact has more on his mind than mere portrait-painting.
