Overview

The story of the 'matchstick man' painter, one of Britain’s most beloved artists, revealed as never before through intimate and previously unheard hidden recordings. Recorded by a young fan, Angela Barratt, in 1972, the tapes uncover much about Lowry's life story and the changing north he captured in his iconic paintings. The voices in this film are real, lip-synced by actors Ian McKellen and Annabel Smith.
