Involved in the Spanish Civil War, threatened by the Nazi occupiers, glorified at the Liberation, starred during the Cold War: is Picasso's magnified aura really in tune with reality? Without denying his genius, Manuelle Blanc examines the heroic figure of the artist in the Resistance, sifting through the reality of historical events and his actions. Drawing on archive footage and the insights of specialists (academics, critics and art historians), her film sheds light on the weaknesses, contradictions and ambiguities of the man who remains, half a century after his death, an undisputed icon of modern art.
Reviews
good back-story, and good acting
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
