Guernica is a 1950 French short film directed by Alain Resnais and Robert Hessens.[1]
Synopsis
After a brief voice-over by Jacques Pruvost describing the bombing of Guernica on 26 April 1937, María Casares recites a poem by Paul Eluard on the subject of that atrocity, accompanied by imagery from numerous paintings, drawings, and sculptures produced by Pablo Picasso between 1920 and 1949, particularly Guernica (1937). The oppressive musical arrangements in the film were composed by Guy Bernard.
Home media
The short film is available as a special feature on the DVD edition of The Mystery of Picasso, Henri-Georges Clouzot's 1956 documentary about Picasso.
