To the last scene , I was in serious doubts if Sir Ben Kingsley was the most inspired option for the role of Salvador Dali. And, indeed, I have serious reseves about this behind the end . But I am convince than he deserves this role.
But I admired the beautiful portrait of Gaa offered by Barbara Sukowa and the effort of Christopher Briney, like the interesting portrait of Amanda Lear or Rupert Graves as Captain Moore. Or cinematography . Few good points of film.
For admirers of Master, the film can sound as impolite. It is only...ironic,a film about art industry, court around a star, naivety becoming lucid discover of reality , a notebook with signatures , a pretty movie using the familiar recipe of young man discovering the univers of a kind of sacre monstre.
Reailsm ? Not exactly. Maybe, colors . Or only honest try to recreate a period and give coherence to the traits of a genius. With acceptable results.
In essence, a kick to discover the real Dali.
