Review of Surviving Picasso (1996) by Bill N — 23 May 2009
Beautifully-shot, terrifically-staged succession of scenes where people take breaks from being awful to one another to make art, proving that Anthony Hopkins can play a self-involved lout just as well as he can a cannibalistic serial killer.
The film raises a sort of interesting question--how much does the way in which we view an artist, and their personality defects, impact the way we view their art? Then again, there are other, better movies that raise the same questions in a more compelling way.
