We'd give a lot to know what happened in Rimbaud's mind

when he was writing "The drunken boat"

in Mozart's mind

when he was composing the Symphony Jupiter

To know this secret mechanism

which leads the creator in his perilous adventure

thanks to God, what is impossible for poetry and music

is possible in painting.

To know what happens in the mind of a painter,

we only have to follow his hand.

You'll see the strange adventure of the painter.

He walks, he slips, balanced on the tightrope.

A curve leads him to the right,

A spot pushes him to the left.

If he recovers badly,

all falls over, all is lost.

The painter gropes his way, like a blind mind

in the darkness of the white canvas.

And the light which appears progressively

the painter creates it paradoxally

in accumulating the blacks.

For the first time, this daily and confidential

drama of the genious blind man

will be played in front of an audience.

Since Pablo Picasso agreed to live it today

in front of you, with you.

So, what are we doing?

we makes another one, don't we?

Unless you are tired

Tired, i like it.

and carry on, all night long if you will

OK, let's go

Claude.

Yes?

What remains in the machine?

150 meters

It's enough.

So, in black or in color?

In color, it's more funny.

Ok, what do you want to do?

Whatever.

As usual?

Wait, you'll see, i'll show you a surprise.

Ok.

Let's go..

Listen, we agree :

From my side, whatever happens, i cut

Few films remain

Yes.

Well, it's finished.

So, i prepare my inks.

Action.

Already 30 sec left.

You have no more than 45 sec

It's enough

LIttle more, ok?

OK, but hurry up, i cheated

What?

I cheated to let you more time.

8 seconds

It's alright

I need ink, so stop for a while.

I cut, stop.

Ready.

Tell me when you are ready.

I'm ready

We shoot.

I cut, stop.

6 meters still.

Shoot.

Well, i leave it like it is.

OK, don't move.

we shoot again 6 meters.

Cut.

Is it good?

Come and see.

- What do you think about it? - and you?

I think i should

keep on, make another,

in another way, to got to the matter as much.

It's already very good, a very impressive show.

Yes, but it's still a bit outer

I would like to go deeper in the story.

I should take all risks.

to see the painting piled up, as the are made

You would like to show the pictures under one picture

You can't do this in transparency.

No but i could use oil paint, like every day at my working place.

We start with transparency and we'll manage later.

-Its dangerous -It will be dangerous

It's what I'm looking for.

so, don't bother, go ahead.

We start again. -OK

Action

Well, I leave it as it is.

Something embarasses me. The spectators will believe that you made this in 10 minutes.

How many time did I work?

5 hours

So now, every body knows it.

Give me a large canvas.

We pretend i'm at home.

I don't take care of the cinema, neither anything else.

I try with pieces of paper.

all is going badly.

All is going very badly

All is going very very badly.

You are worried

Don't worry, it can end still worse.

Why have you this face?

You wanted a drama, here is it.

-for the film, it's embarassing. -Why?

for the spectators.

I've never taken care of the audience

I'm too old to start now.

And , especially, it is that i wanted to show.

The truth taken at the bottom of the well.

The night is falling

It's falling more and more.

The moon

The stars

a meteor

It's very bad.

I pull out all.

I see an improvement.

Anyway, it's a picture.

Now i almost see where i am,

I take a new canvas and i start all again.

Well, It's finished.
