Picasso: A Rebel in Paris (12A)
Picasso: A Rebel In Paris takes an unprecedented and alternative look at the
maestro of modernity. The film focuses on the story of a young immigrant, poor but
destined to become one of the most important icons of the 20th century.
The film
moves continuously in and out of the Musée Picasso in Paris, which has the largest
existing collection dedicated to the painter with 6,000 masterpieces and 200,000
pieces of archive material, and follows Picasso through the Parisian neighborhoods
where he lived, from the early days in ateliers with no heating to the large middle-class
apartments where his success began: a physical and intellectual journey to gain a
deeper understanding of his work and spirit.
