Guernica

Streaming video - 1949

GUERNICA is a short film featuring paintings, drawings and sculptures made by Picasso between 1902 and 1949. Accompanying the artworks is a dramatic piece by surrealist poet Paul Eluard, read by actor Maria Casares. In the first few minutes of the film, Picasso's deeply human drawings evoke daily life. Then comes the bombing, with lives shattered and destroyed. Here, the focus is on "Guernica" itself, as the film spotlights details of the painting over a frenzied and disturbing score.
