The Mystery of Picasso

“One of the most exciting and joyful movies ever made!” (Pauline Kael)

In 1955 Henri-Georges Clouzot (The Wages of Fear, Diabolique) set out to make a new kind of art film, documenting his friend Pablo Picasso as he painted on a specially designed transparent “canvas.” An extraordinary opportunity to see the master at work.

Henri-Georges Clouzot. 1956. 78 m. PG. France, French with subtitles.
