In 1955, Henri-Georges Clouzot joined forces with his friend Pablo
Picasso to make an entirely new kind of art film. Together, they devised an
innovative technique: the filmmaker placed his camera behind a semitransparent
surface on which the artist drew, capturing a perfect reverse image of
Picasso’s brushstrokes, turning the motion-picture screen into the artist’s
canvas. Mesmerizing and unforgettable, The Mystery of Picasso is one of
the greatest documentaries on art ever made. (France, 1956, 78 mins, PG, French | Dir. Henri-Georges
Clouzot)
