Really Surprised!

Casey Duggan

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

What can I say about this film? - Just go watch it. It's got it all: footage of major artists of the 20th century, their masterpieces, and a master narrator, Orson Welles. Of course, the film has to be seen in the context of the time when it was made (1975), but by this it has become itself a piece of art history.

Since there's no info on IMDb, I thought I would add that this film features rare and unique footage of great modern artists in their studios creating and commenting on their work, with narration and commentary by Orson Welles. Features Chagall, Henry Moore, Dali, De Kooning, Matisse, Picasso, Giacometti, Duchamp and Pollack, and probably some others I'm forgetting. The film also visits great collections housed in The Louvre, The Guggenheim and The Museum of Modern Art to view works by Mondrian, Dubuffet, Kline, Magritte, Warhol and others.I really enjoyed this film and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys learning more about modern art history.
