Stylizing Dali's Life
PostedMay 21, 2009

While giving an accurate description of Dali's life in Madrid and in Catalonia, the film-maker also has an overall theme which is NOT biographical - that true genius requires sharp intellectual stimulation to be motivated reach it's peak and cannot fully flower in a vacuum. The stimulation in Dalis' life comes from Federico Garcia-Lorca of Andalusia in more than one way. , The contrast of the lifestyles and life goals of the two is magnificently drawn in this movie. I went to see it with someone who was actually a visitor in Dali's Catalonian home, and she indicated that the movie include scenes actually shot inside his real home.

Sophisticated French Farce

If you like sophisticated French comedy,
this is one of the better ones. The
depiction of the scenery, and the
nonsensical fashion in which
the residents and their "friends" on
the Riviera are joked about is
riotous at times.
