Picasso: A Rebel in Paris

The stylistically broad works of Pablo Picasso, the iconic, undisputed king of modern art, are the focus of this documentary narrated by Iranian-French actress Mina Kavani (No Bears). The film moves continuously in and out of the Musée National Picasso-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. Among the talking heads are British luxury designer Sir Paul Smith, who art directed a special Picasso exhibition matched with glorious Farrow & Ball saturated walls at the museum in 2023.
