A few superficial impressions

1. The picture is very British, although the story is not in the UK, and although the dialogue is in Spanish-style English, there is no doubt that this is a British film.
2. The actor who plays Dali has done enough homework (such as deliberately large and small eyes on the right and left, body performance at 31'00'', a paragraph after 66'00'', expression at 88'00'', etc.), But Pattinson and Dali's temperament are far from each other. More often, people feel that this is a thankless imitation show, and we really can't see Dali; and Federico's image of a country gentleman is similar to Charm and talent don't really go hand in hand.
3. The hue and saturation of light and shadow evoke the sadness of people's youth.
4. The soundtrack is good.
In short, such a subject should perhaps have a more uninhibited expression, a non-British one. After all, it was an age of surrealism, an age of turbulent absurdity, and after all, the protagonists were a group of brilliant geniuses. But this movie is still remarkable.

    Very funny...As a 1-2 star in a biography, as a 4-5 star in the same movie~ The camera is also better than the performance, ignoring the accent. . .

Little Ashes quotes

  • [last lines]

    Federico García Lorca: [whispering voiceover] Dry land, quiet land of immense night. Wind in the olive grove. Wind in the sierra.

    [overlapping dialogue]

  • Profesor de Arte: You have 20 minutes to deliver an oral critique of Raphael. You may begin... Mr. Dalí?

    Salvador Dalí: Gentlemen... I returned from Paris with a conclusion that the entire amount of real, artistic knowledge contained within this panel of professors is not equal to one half of this. This, my fingernail. Not one half, gentlemen. And I've been insulting myself by letting your shruddy practices, your pathetic, outdated theories and questionable characters shit on my genius. And I hope with all my heart that you'll realize I'm right and give up this foolishness and go back to the pigsties and the haystacks, where you might be of some real use.
