Eva Mendes thinks her new movie is like Picasso's artwork.

The actress loved working with Nicolas Cage on 'Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans' but can't explain why she enjoyed it so much, comparing the experience to seeing work by the famous abstract artist.

She said: "I'm excited about 'Bad Lieutenant', because it's completely something different that is completely outside-the-box film, and has got its own thing going on completely. It's like a piece of art, to me. It really is. It's almost like a piece of abstract art, when you go to the museum and you see a Picasso, and you can't quite pinpoint what it is, but you know you're attracted to it, and you accept it as art."

No rehearsal, and a lot of improv on Nic's part

The actress also revealed that Nicolas never rehearses his scenes as he prefers improvisation.

She added to film website Moviehole: "No rehearsal, and a lot of improv on Nic's part. But on mine, because - which is funny to say, I'm the stable one in the relationship, which I loved. So I had to be more the straight man and in order for Nic's craziness to work, I had to kind of be more of the straight man. And I think Nic does a brilliant job - I love him being this out there and crazy."
