Botero

As someone who did not know much about Botero and his art before watching this film, I was impressed by how much of his background and history they were able to explore while also being able to tell a very compelling and cohesive story that is still relevant to the present.

This film is also beautifully shot and edited. They really knew how to bring out the bright colours and volume of Botero's art, and every still of a painting or sculpture felt purposeful, rather than simply dropped into the film to fill up time.

Whether you're a fan of Fernando Botero or not, this is definitely a documentary that you should see.

I knew already about Botero, and I have always admire his work, but this is the first time I actually see him talking about his life and his passion to paint. It was amazing I highly recommend this movie.

Recomendado, y más que irla a ver es ir a ver su majestuosidad, grande maestro, que orgullo

This film is a must-see for all art lovers who want a deeper understanding of what goes into the creation of a masterpiece. It is a beautiful film, gorgeously shot, and told with a tenderness that is worthy of the artist.

While I recognized the art and the figurative style, I confess I wasn't familiar with the artist himself before seeing this film. I'm so glad I took the time to view it. Beautiful cinematography, including some truly intimate moments with Botero and with his adult children. The film-makers told a cohesive story of the artist's life and works, with a caring eye and ear. The scene of unfurling works stored long ago was particularly compelling - so much passion and colour hidden away for years - it felt like discovering treasure. I loved every minute.
