In just one hour, American filmmaker and gallery owner Arne Glimcher intertwines several art theory currents that dominated the 20th century technological revolution, and approaches the names of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. What’s the origin of Cubism? What links plastic avant-garde with popular culture and the first films made by Edison, Lumière, and Méliès? What role does the development of aviation play in this context? Glimcher’s answers to these specific questions spring something that’s both precise and new in its interpretation of history. Narrated by Martin Scorsese and structured by interviews with renowned artists and scholars, Picasso and Braque Go to the Movies creates an open and simple story, half way between an art documentary and a TV special, but with an enlightening didacticism. –Mar del Plata International Film Festival
