Sony Annonce pour le 5 mai le film Mr. Turner en édition DVD et Blu-ray de Mike Leigh avec Timothy Spall, Dorothy Atkinson, Paul Jesson, Marion Bailey, Lesley Manville, Martin Savage, Sandy Foster, Karl Johnson, Ruth Sheen et Amy Dawson.
Joseph Mallord William Turner est un des peintres anglais les plus importants du 19e siècle. De nature bougonne et renfrognée, il est parfois source de railleries. Peu à l'aise avec sa famille, il est toutefois proche de son père qui l'assiste dans son art. C'est cependant lorsqu'il se trouve devant une toile que M. Turner se porte le mieux, utilisant une technique de peinture des plus originales. Afin de trouver son inspiration, il visite les bordels et il loue une chambre au bord de mer sous un nom d'emprunt, embrassant à nouveau l'anonymat.
