Full Plot Details

In 1943, a young painter, Françoise Gilot (1921- ) (Natascha McElhone) meets Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) (Sir Anthony Hopkins), 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 (Julianne Moore), Marie-Thérèse (Susannah Harker) (whose daughter is Picasso's), and Olga Koklowa (Jane Lapotaire), 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.

Movie Reviews

The New York Review of Books - 8/10 by John RichardsonSurviving Picasso not only fails to entertain; it puts the artist and his work at considerable risk by playing into the hands of modern-art-haters, in this respect like the book on which it claims to be based.
Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Owen GleibermanCool, assured, emotionally remote, Merchant Ivory's Surviving Picasso is never less than watchable, but it's also a cinematic paradox, a movie that works to capture Picasso from every angle yet somehow misses the fire in his belly.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Edward GuthmannAn absorbing look at emotional tyranny, with a great screenplay by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala.
The New York Times - 8/10 by Janet MaslinFreed from the slavishness of most authorized biography, the film makers try bold strokes.
Variety - 8/10 by Daniel M. Kimmel...a stunning debut by Natascha McElhone...
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Jay CarrLatest Merchant Ivory production (produced with David Wolper) is a winner in spite of relatively modern look to the film.
Spirituality and Practice - 7/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatCovers ten turbulent years in the life of this major luminary of 20th century art.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 7/10 by William ArnoldThe movie breaks down into anecdotes that don't flow or build, and everything is narrated by the Gilot character.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Kenneth TuranSurviving Picasso is quite well made and easy enough to watch, but it's not noticeably challenging or involving.
Chicago Reader - 5/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumNot a movie that needs to exist, but it passes the time, and at least Hopkins manages to look like Picasso at odd moments.
