French cinema’s most charming surrealist turns to the figure of the most legendary surrealist in history.

2023, Quentin Dupieux

France
77 minutes, French with Russian subtitles

Starring: Édouard Baer, Gilles Lellouche, Anaïs Demoustier, Jonathan Cohen

“This is a real fake biopic,” reads the very first frame—and it doesn’t deceive. Formally built around an aspiring journalist’s attempts to interview Salvador Dalí at the height of his fame, the film repeatedly blurs the boundaries of reality, revealing a dream within a dream, a film within a film, a myth within a myth.

The border between thought-provoking art and ridiculous nonsense is thin with Dalí, but this is where he and Dupieux live.

— Elena Lazic, The Playlist

The director inventively conveys the spirit of creativity and personality of the great artist and even greater creator of myths about himself. By the end, Dalí appears as the most sane inhabitant of this mad world.
