His domineering control-freak mother 　　enabled him to become one of the greatest painters of the 20th century in Britain. 　　L.S. Lowry is one of the greatest national painters of 20th-century Britain, and his unique painting style is beloved by the British public. However, his works were ridiculed by art critics early on as having been created by a child, because the characters in his paintings have oversized heads and slender bodies, resembling matchsticks, and were dubbed "matchstick men." Although Lowry's mother, Elizabeth, spent her life obstructing his artistic career, it is undeniable that his success as a painter can be attributed to her. After his father's death, Lowry took on the responsibility of caring for his bedridden mother, often painting in the attic only after she fell asleep, wholeheartedly and willingly. The melancholic Elizabeth constantly expressed her dissatisfaction and disappointment in her son, but Lowry spent his entire life seeking ways to make her happy; his life and his paintings yearned for her approval. The film is directed by Adrian Noble, the former director of the Royal Shakespeare Company, who cast Cannes Best Actor Timothy Spall to portray this great painter and Cannes Best Actress Vanessa Redgrave as the controlling mother. Their superb performances bring this ironically humorous mother-son duo to life. 　　"Chimneys towering and skies filled with black smoke, the matchstick men appear solitary in the unchanging industrial landscape." Lowry's works document the post-industrial British urban scene and people's alienation, resonating even today. In his later years, he was recognized by the Royal Academy of Arts and Manchester College, with works sold for a high price of £3.7 million. He repeatedly refused honors from the British Prime Minister and declined a peerage.
