Daaaaaalí!

October 25

For journalist Judith Rochant (Anaïs Demoustier) the assignment to interview renowned artist Salvador Dalí is a great career opportunity–if only he would agree to sit still and answer a single question. What begins as a 15-minute conversation blows up into a bonafide cinematographic documentary portrait, provided the world’s most enormous cameras are available to film it. As Judith’s interview is delayed, detoured, disrupted, and deranged by Dalí’s inexhaustible self-regard, the journalist finds herself becoming the subject. The legendary painter’s artistry and ego know no bounds, and Daaaaaalí! dutifully casts no less than five actors (Edouard Baer, Jonathan Cohen, Giles Lellouche, Pio Marmaï, and Didier Flamand) as Salvador Dalí in this prismatic portrait. The prolific Quentin Dupieux’s latest comedy is an exercise in dream logic and surrealist homage, with the rug pulled out from under you again and again before you even manage to get up off the floor.

Total Runtime: 77 mins

“Quentin Dupieux is completely insane; and this is meant as an extreme compliment.” -Sarah Manvel, Critic’s Notebook

“At the time of year where every other film is a biopic chasing prestige respectability, we are lucky to have Quentin Dupieux, the prolific, serious-minded, silly filmmaker perfectly positioned to take a sledgehammer to the genre.” -Alistair Ryder, The Film Stage

“A Funny, Unpredictable Ode to the Spanish Surrealist” … “Dupieux’s soft spot for the idiosyncrasy of his subject’s vision shines through.” -William Repass, Slant Magazine

“Daaaaaali! is great fun and appropriately strange, with Dupieux delivering a dream-layered understanding of artistry and impatience with palpable glee.” -Brian Orndorf

“An endlessly creative vision of art and cinema.” -Elena Lazic, The Playlist
