Picasso Summer

Pablo Picasso, where are you? Disenchanted with his work as an architect and turned off by the hipper-than-thou 60s San Francisco art scene, George Smith has a breakthrough idea: chuck it all and go meet the one real artist he admires. So off to Europe he and adoring wife Alice fly...into an unexpected physical and emotional itinerary. Albert Finney and Yvette Mimieux portray the Smiths in a stylish (split screens, freeze frames, flash cuts) psychedelic-era groove of a film thats also a sun-drenched travelogue and an artists showcase whose varied palette includes lively animated sequences of Picassos work. The Smiths are taking their chances. So does the often-engrossing and lushly lensed tale of their Picasso Summer.
