Two hours long; dull and tedious, and what a shame.
Picasso one of the most famous painters of all time yet this movie concentrates on him as an egotist, womanizer and bore.It is mainly about his later life and one tedious affair after another as well as the portrayal of him as totally selfish, whether true or not.
This is someone whose paintings can and do sell for 50 or 100 million US dollars, and like or loath, he was a Genius.
But no where in the picture does it properly:
i) Show us the Secret of his Genius;
or,
ii) Illustrate fully or sufficiently the artistry of his genius.
If one is going to make a movie about an Icon, give us some
inspiration please....
3/10
