AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON BLU-RAY
Diego Velázquez, painter of kings and the humble, master of off-screen space and mise en abyme, is at the heart of a cinematic journey that defies conventions. From the hypnotic depths of Las Meninas to the vertiginous layers of interpretation in The Spinners , The Velázquez Enigma seeks to elucidate a troubling question: how is it that this artist, admired by geniuses such as Manet and Dalí, so often remains on the margins of collective memory? Guided by the symbolic thread of water, a metaphor for movement and reflection, the film traverses centuries and continents, boldly blending historical accounts, contemporary interpretations, and meditations on the universal legacy of an unparalleled master.
Directed by Stéphane Sorlat and narrated by Vincent Lindon, The Velázquez Enigma concludes a trilogy begun with The Mystery of Hieronymus Bosch and The Shadow of Goya by Jean-Claude Carrière.
