Surviving Picasso [1997] 
Customer Review: Very one-dimentional indeed
I found this a highly dissapointing film in that it seemes to focus almost entirely on the misogynistic side of Picasso`s personality, and his selfish insensitivity towards others. While these aspects of Picasso no doubt existed, the film fails to portray a rounded depiction of the man or what drove him. This very one-dimentional and oblique angled view is no doubt due to the fact that the film is based on the memoires of his disillusioned wife, and I am reminded of the book written by Deborah Curtis about her husband the singer Ian Curtis, in which she whines on about the domestic reality of their relationship but offers virtually no insight into his art - which was surely the most interesting thing about him. The problem is that the relationships which these women have with their husbands is based on love and its commitments, and has nothing to do with their art or creativity. To make a film about an artist which ignores the inner imagination and creative aspect of that person is pointless and uninteresting. Anthony Hopkins offers a fairly convincing performance, but this just isn`t enough.
Customer Review: Mad about art. Not mad about art. Either way you’ll love it!
Fascinating! The art, the place, the era, the people, the originality - i loved it all! Perfect whether or not you like Picasso’s work, his life and affairs are nothing short of intriguing. This film is definitely the most influential that I have ever seen. What can I say? Pretty damn good!
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice: Picasso, Provence and Douglas Cooper Customer Review: Insightful, Amusing and Repugnant
Looking for a biography of Picasso, I came across this: A memoir of life in 1950’s Provence with collector Douglass Cooper, the said artist, and his clique. The first section merely a stuffing of self-indulgence and bitchy anecdotes about the art world, Richardson has centred the final part of the book on Picasso - the only point of interest here - who was at this time towards the end of his life. Thus, after 200 pages of solid irrelevance and voyeurism, I was bored and ready to stop reading, remembering that I hate memoirs. The Picasso chapters approaching I read on and was rewarded; for the memoirieness subsides under a painful end-of-epoch feeling as Richardson, his style becoming less rigid, constructs an intimate profile of Picasso, detailing his labyrinthine relationships with Dora Maar and Jacqueline Roque. Insightful: It’s almost tragic and almost worthwhile. I got what I had wanted and astounded myself at enjoying such a vulgar, decadent book.
