Picassos äventyr (1978)
What a great fantasy!
This film is so packed with humorous details, that it takes several sittings to explore them all. If you have even a rudimentary knowledge in the languages spoken you will have plenty of fun as the dialog is truly basic - but also totally bizarre. There is a lot of wonderful art to look at too. Every painting shown could have been painted by the different artists portrayed. At the end of the movie there is a hilarious scene with Picasso having a medical exam by a Einstein-looking doctor that could be shown as a classic slapstick short film all by itself, it is very, very funny. One of my favorite characters in the film is the Nazi SS-officer with the rank of Hauptbahnhof (Main train station) who instead of saluting with the traditional "Heil Hitler!" yells "Halv liter!" (Swedish for 'Half Litre').
