"My favorite themes are power games and hierarchies. I always want to turn things on their heads, to upset the established order, to change heroines and idiots. If the story is "given" I take liberties with it to make it conform to my own experiences, and to be outrageous."
~ Paula Rego

About This Dvd

Born in Portugal, Paula Rego is one of Britain's leading artists. This intimate film follows the artist from her retrospective at the Reina Sofia in Madrid back to the privacy of her studio in London while she talks with humour and candour about her compulsion to produce works that, though accessible, deal with the most private themes.

Paula Rego is that great rarity: a British artist with an international reputation. Germaine Greet sees revolution in her work, 'It is not often given to women to recognise themselves in painting, still less to see their private world, their dreams, the insides of their heads, projected on such a scale and so immodestly'. Nicholas Serota, director of the Tate, asserts that she is a key figure who has 'taken her own childhood experiences, memories, fantasies, and given them universal significance'.

Paula Rego: telling tales follows Rego over a period of 12 months. During six interviewsshe talks with humour and candour to reveal the private stories that are woven into her pictures; she faces her demons, the same demons that form the compulsion to make work which keep her 'monsters' at bay. The result is an intimate and funny film that allows us to peek into the private world of Paula Rego.
