Portraying events in the life of the artist from childhood up to his death, the movie addresses in particular his relationships with women, including his muse.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It's a strange, visionary work, highly formal and not easy of access, but compelling in a way that's almost impossible to describe.
