From his studio in Chelsea, Francis Bacon answers questions asked by his friend, the art critic David Sylvester. The film is the result of a recording made of this extraordinary encounter, which took place over three days, and remains a fascinating document on the artistic vision of one of the greatest masters of the second half of the 20th century.
