A very nice movie
11 September 2000 | by (Stockholm Sweden) – See all my reviews

This comedy is one of the funniest I ever seen. If you know the story of Picasso you will laugh at every new scene. It's a nice way of presenting a big artist and make people learn more about him. The actors are very good and some of them are among the top swedish actors.
