{"product_id":"0738329256401","title":"Mystery Of Picasso (1956)","description":"Released shortly after Luciano Emmer's documentary \u003ci\u003ePicasso\u003c\/i\u003e, H. G. Clouzot's \u003ci\u003eLe Mystère Picasso\u003c\/i\u003e was an unmitigated commercial disaster - all the more tragic when one considers the groundbreaking nature of its content.   Like Emmer before him, Clouzot offers rare and precious glimpses of Pablo Picasso at work. The film watches Picasso draw or paint 15 different works, often via tightly-compressed, time-lapse cinematography. All of the featured masterpieces were intentionally destroyed following production, meaning that they exist only in the cinematic realm. With this documentary, Clouzot comes as close as humanly possible to defining the genius of Picasso within the parameters of the camera lens. Oddly, \u003ci\u003eLe Mystère Picasso\u003c\/i\u003e does not appear on many of the \"official\" lists of Clouzot's films, even though it won a Special Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival.","brand":"Milestone Video","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50095254208752,"sku":"0738329256401","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/0738329256401","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
