Surviving Picasso (1996)

The film follows the relationship between Françoise, a struggling painter, and Pablo, a renowned one, beginning in 1943 in Paris and lasting 10 years.

The big problem with this film is excessive banality; films like The Ebony Tower (1984) and Raise the Red Lantern (1991) have intersecting points with it, but are much better because they either have better stories (the latter) or have philosophical insight (the former).

Saw it dubbed in Portuguese.
