"Desire Caught by the Tail" - Described as surrealistic, absurd, and weird. The narrative is nonlinear and the meaning nearly impossible to decipher, the work has been praised despite, and sometimes for, its lack of message.
Writing
Picasso's only play: a script that actively resists interpretation.
Production
Ultra Violet's screen debut—Factory girl goes Continental.
Director
Jean-Jacques Lebel
