Eric Ravillious: Drawn to War is a true story.  Eric Ravilious is as compelling and enigmatic as his art.  Set against the dramatic wartime locations that inspire him, Margy Kinmonth’s film brings to life this brilliant but still grossly undervalued British artist.  Caught in the crossfire of war 80 years ago, Ravilious’s legacy largely sank without trace, until now.

Jackson, Robert Forster, Bridget Fonda, Michael Keaton, and Robert De Niro in supporting roles.
