The Mystery of Picasso
Director: Henri-Georges Clouzot, Bert Haanstra
1956 / 78min / 35mm
“One of the most exciting and joyful movies ever made,” per The New Yorker’s Pauline Kael, The Mystery of Picasso provides a front-row seat to the creative process of the Spanish painter and 75-year-old living legend, observing, from the inverse side of a translucent easel, his real-time composition of marker drawings, collages, and oil paintings—works made for, and for the most part only preserved for posterity by, this singularly effervescent film.
