"The whole process is fascinating, Picasso starts drawing with ink on a piece of white paper, meantime Clouzot sets the camera angling at the backside of the paper, with the ink bleeding through the paper, thus audience can watch the whole process with nearly real-time veracity in its mirror image. Gradually, he adds oil paint and collages onto the canvas, and his works become more and more variegated and elaborate. To save time (one painting takes Picasso several hours to finish), Clouzot effects a stop-motion-like technique to demonstrate how a Picasso's painting evolves and transmogrifies with his quirky brushstrokes to a transcendent end result, and how the same painting can morph into another with a multifaceted truly, seeing is believing."
