Surviving Picasso

Based on Arianna Stassinopoulos Huffington’s novel entitled Picasso: Creator and Destroyer, the film focuses on great Spanish artist’s relationships with women. We watch Picasso in his mid-life, from the eye of Francoise Gilot. His ex-wife and mother of his two children had a relationship with the painter between 1944-1954. Directed by James Ivory and produced by Ismail Merchant, the film portraits a charismatic and charming Picasso with Anthony Hopkin’s great performance.
