Great film ... and fine acting.

How does one survive living with and being on the inside circle of one of the world's great geniuses and arguable the greatest painter who ever lived? He was a sadist, but lovable and the part in the movie that best describes why is the scene he talks about his work ... how he paints and why. He's hateful and charming and more of a spoiled child than a man.

Of course, the person who had the hardest time living with Picasso was the man himself. This was how Francoise managed to survive him. She saw him for what he was and wasn't intimidated by it. Good film ... very moving.
