DALÍLAND
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Mary Harron (I SHOT ANDY WARHOL, AMERICAN PSYCHO), DALÍLAND stars Ben Kingsley as the titular Salvador Dalí, one of the most world-renowned artists of the 20th century and focuses on the later years of the strange and fascinating marriage between Dalí and his wife, Gala (Barbara Sukowa), as their seemingly unshakable bond begins to stress and fracture. Set in New York and Spain in 1974, the film is told through the eyes of James (Christopher Briney), a young assistant keen to make his name in the art world, who helps the eccentric and mercurial Dalí prepare for a big gallery show. Rupert Graves, Suki Waterhouse, Andreja Pejic and Ezra Miller also star.
Nationally in cinemas from 13 July 2023
Feedback/Comments
Well acted- Ben Kingsley’s performance was terrific, but came away feeling that the account of Dali’s life lacked substance and focused too much on the excesses of his later life and declining career
❤️
The story and drama(s) in (and around) the life of one of the most iconic artists of the 20th century. Well worth watching (and exploring more if interested).
Interesting film
Pejic was wonderful..she is so talented
