本片改编自Arianna Huffington所著的毕卡索传:Picasso; Creatorand Destroyer。 毕卡索令人赞叹的精力、创作才华与错综复杂的情爱关系,是这部片的精华。毕卡索在他已62岁时,与小他将近40岁的女画家法兰西丝相遇。此片彷佛是一块五彩缤纷的画布,描绘出他们两人之间真实的爱情故事,法兰西丝不顾家人的反对和毕卡索同居,两人继而展开一段长达十年且刻骨铭心的忘年之爱。在这十年中,尽管毕卡索年岁已高,但犹存的热情与魅力,却无法阻止他和其他的女人在一起,纵使法兰西丝曾因此离开过毕卡索,至末两人始终还是无法分开。安东尼霍普金斯栩栩诠释出这位印象派绘画大师令人赞叹的精力、创作才华、与错综复杂的情爱关系。In 1943, a young painter, Françoise Gilot (1921- ) meets Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), already the most celebrated artist in the world. For the next ten years, she is his mistress, bears him two children, is his muse, and paints within his element. She also learns slowly about the other women who have been or still are in his life: Dora Maar, Marie- Thérèse (whose daughter is Picasso's), and Olga Koklowa, each of whom seems deeply scarred by their life with Picasso. Gilot's response is to bring each into her relationship with Picasso. How does one survive Picasso? She keeps painting, and she keeps her good humor and her independence. When the time comes, she has the strength to leave.
