Sinekatalog’s take

Henri-Georges Clouzot's documentary films Picasso drawing and painting on transparent surfaces, as images evolve in real time. Hypnotic and intimate, with a tense, theatrical build, it is a rare view of creative process.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
