| Summary |
Joan Miro was passionately committed to his native Catalonia and its struggle for independence from Spain. But he also longed to escape into artistic freedom. This tension drove his art in strange and beautiful ways. Miro was by turns influenced by Dada, surrealism, and abstract expressionism. His changes in styles and subjects also reflected the horrific events of the Spanish Civil War, World War II, and the dictatorship of Franco. This documentary includes original footage shot in Barcelona. |

Extras: "Barcelona: what Miro saw": a visual tour; Miro's squiggles, blobs, and beasts; gallery of Joan Miró works from the film set to music. |
