Wonderfully performed biographical piece.
As far as context goes, I had already known most of the material from biographies in other sources. There were only a couple new aspects to this one. The acting was superb. Anthony Hopkins and Natascha McElhone were passionate and believable. It portrays Picasso’s nature as narrated by one of his former lovers. It’s NOT a fluff piece, but you shouldn’t end up hating him unless you did already.
Surviving Francois
Pablo Picasso portrayed by the only woman to have survived his narcissistic, manipulative, patronizing and womanizing tendencies and come out of the minotaur’s labyrinth, his studio, before he shatters her. A great performance of the master painter and sculptor genius by Anthony Hopkins who is a master actor himself adequately next to his young co-stars. I am a great admirer of Picasso myself and I really appreciated all the research to fit every detail in its place to make this kind of biographical film. I’m very fond of the relationship Picasso had with Henry Matisse despite their differences and the competitiveness between them.
