Story: |
Big Eyes is based on the true story of Walter Keane (Christoph Waltz), who was
one of the most successful painters of the 1950s and early 1960s. The artist
earned staggering notoriety by revolutionising the commercialisation and
accessibility of popular art with his enigmatic paintings of waifs with big
eyes. The truth would eventually be discovered though: Keane's art was actually
not created by him at all, but by his wife, Margaret (Amy Adams). The Keanes,
it seemed, had been living a lie that had grown to gigantic proportions. "Big
Eyes" centres on Margaret's awakening as an artist, the phenomenal success of
her paintings, and her tumultuous relationship with her husband, who was
catapulted to international fame while taking credit for her work.
