The Mystery of Picasso

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be a hair’s breadth away from a great painter at work? In this classic documentary, the French suspense master Henri-Georges Clouzot (“Diabolique”, “The Wages of Fear”) invites us into Pablo Picasso’s studio, capturing the great Spanish painter at the height of his creative fever. Thanks to an inspired visual trick, Clouzot transforms the screen into a canvas, offering an all-access pass to the creative process of one of the biggest modern art masters the world has ever known.
