The Horse's Mouth (1958)

1h 35m 1958 United Kingdom

Gulley Jimson, a crude and unscrupulous artist freshly out of prison, finds himself squatting in the penthouse of the unsuspecting Beeders while they are away on holiday. Seizing the opportunity, he transforms their wall into a mural, pawns off their possessions, and, alongside sculptor Abel, accidentally creates a gaping hole in their floor. Undeterred, Jimson sets his sights on an even grander canvas: a vast wall in a deserted church, driven by his relentless pursuit of artistic expression and chaos.
