It's the story of a spark of inspiration, that instant of artistic realization stretched across an intriguing, impressionistic hour of imagined art history: Guernica's examination of the horrific moment an unremarkable town became Picasso's fabled work is unique in its sense of foreboding darkness: the Spanish town's denizens—bustling through in their own lives and conflicts, unaware of how soon they'll be forever swept away—are compelling characters to watch within the context, and their final, culminative sequence unfolds in a chilling sweep.
