Genius. Picasso.

Feeble series; even feebler than the last series about Einstein. The Einstein series leaving aside his science after c. 1919, were, at least, livened by the incomparable Geoffrey Rush (though, great and underrated Emily Watson was not given much of a go). But Picasso series, incoherent as they are, left his artistic development together with the brilliant Alex Rich, playing young Picasso. The rest of the series are only concerned with his womanizing, solid, but no match to the current President of the Unites States.

This is a genial animation with final days of Van Gogh reconstructed from his numerous letters and positioned as a whodunit story with the implied suspicion that Van Gogh was murdered, rather than committed suicide, ostensibly by good-for-nothing teenagers he befriended in his drunken roaming. But: the movie making technique where the characters are played by the human actors and then reanimated by drawing bears its descent from an unwatchable but equally genial "Waking Life" by Linklatter.
