Movie Reviews of The Mystery of Picasso

Movie Review: MASTERFUL!
Summary: 5 Stars

This film is a real treat, as gives us an insight into the work of Picasso by literally allowing us to see the master at work and how his simple brush strokes incredibly evolve into masterpieces, in some instances even metamorphosing before our eyes from a figurative piece in to a cubist expression of the same. This is a film that I was pleasantly surprised to see my 5-year-old son sit through shearing my amazement as Picasso worked for the camera. It's a definite "must have" for those that like Picasso and who, after viewing this movie, will appreciate his work even more!

Movie Review: WOW! and WOW again!
Summary: 5 Stars

This DVD is startling. It shows Picasso painting (by placing the camera behind the canvas). It shows him work through a painting, or dash through a painting, all with great glee. You can acutally see him make a decision, then change his mind, then change it again. I had no idea this is really how painters paint.

This won the Palm d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in the late 1950s. It's easy to see why. I would love to watch it with a young child and then see what happens.

Movie Review: An one-of-a-kind look around the creative universe of Picasso!
Summary: 5 Stars

"The mystery of Picasso" is one of these absorbing films that immediately engage you from the first shot. To watch Picasso in plain creative process, thanks to the admirable craft of Clouzot is not precisely an occasion to waste it.

This monumental and over the top film is an absolute must for cinema's lovers, art students and all kind of people.

One of the greatest films ever made!

Movie Review: Unforgettable
Summary: 5 Stars

I once saw this film on television, late at night. This was at least ten years ago, and despite having seen it only once, many of the images are still fresh in my mind. Along with Alex Cox's "Vincent", an extraordinary documentary about the life of Vincent Van Gogh, this is probably the best portrait of the work and life of an artist. Worth every penny.
