Daaaaaalí!

French, unique and clever movie.

Excellent acting performances across, much in thanks to careful directing.

The movie requires no pre-knowledge about Dali. If you've seen at least one painting, you'll notice the paintings don't seem to fall far from the artist.

Cleverly designed plot, many unexpected and witty twists - a biopic where boring chronologic is replaced by humour. The portrayal of Dali is very enjoyable, every pronounciation seems a carefully thought out way to showcase his excentric (to quote Dali) particuliarities and in some sense also decay towards the latter stages of life.

A very good film, seen at the Göteborg film festival.

The Dupieux Inception made me laugh so much, I never know what to expect but it's an intergalactic foot every time, plus I love Dali! A little tripoté of actor to embody Dali, a divinatory Dali, timeless, in a film that seems to resume the end of 2001 without any limit. I won't be able to tell you what it means, but it's pretty crazy! No limit in time, logic, meaning?

It is the story of an interview, in a dream, in a film, in a painting, in an interview, in a dream, in a film, in a painting, etc, etc... It is crazy and I love and for me, it is Jonathan Cohen who gives the most life to the eccentric character, it is an absolute treat to see him take all the tics of the master!

I recommend to those who like the Dupieux style, the others, will be completely strawberry, as every time:D.

I have already criticized Quentin Dupieux's films quite a bit, although I am always curious, every time I have the opportunity to see a new one.

He is an original filmmaker, that's the least that can be said about him. But the truth is that originality did not always mean quality, throughout his career. I've seen several Dupieux films that, however original they were, made no sense. Absurd arguments that, if they were sometimes amusing, were because they had so little common sense.

I think that, for the first time, at least in the films I've seen by Dupieux, his eccentricity married, almost perfectly, with a character and a script that were as eccentric, or even more so, than him.

Salvador Dalí was a phenomenon, whose fame, egocentrism, and eccentricity far exceeded his undeniable talent. Therefore, if there is a theme that fits perfectly into Dupieux's cinematic language, it is surrealism. And Dalí, being the most megalomaniac and brilliant representative of the genre (as much as this disgusted Breton and his followers), seems like the perfect character for a Dupieux film. In it, reality surpasses fiction.

Here the absurd makes perfect sense. The caricature of Dalí, simultaneously in various phases of his life, is funny, pertinent and completely plausible. And the plot feels like something out of one of his films with Bunuel or Ray, or from the many multidisciplinary experiments he has undertaken since the sixties.

It's not a masterpiece of cinema, but it's certainly the best and most interesting Dupieux film I've seen to date.

As she puts it herself, Judith was a pharmacist but it was way too boring, so she decided to be a journalist instead. So she becomes obsessed with the idea of interviewing Salvador Dalí for a magazine, but will she?

Quentin Dupieux is a master of making glued to the screen and laughing out loud even if there is no real plot in the film. In spite of Dalí, excuse me, Daaaaaalí involved, this one is more absurdism rather than surrealism, which is perfectly to my taste. The setting here is more significant than the content, and every moment, you never know what you're gonna see next. Pure cinematographic pleasure!

P. S. A great collaboration with Thomas Bangalter from Daft Punk for the music.

I have watched six Quentin Dupieux movies. WRONG/REALITY/LE DAIM/MANDIBULES/ Incroyable mais vrai and this one. DAAAAAALI! Is my least favorite movie of his. Up until now, the only movie which i would not have recommended was LE DAIM. But even LE DAIM is better than this.

It's like Dupieux ran out of ideas and artistically, he is on a decline. At times i felt i was watching just a rehash of his previous movies. This is a 67 minutes movie and still felt boring at times. There are still clever and funny moments here and there, Dupieux remains a unique and capable artist. But i think he should take a break in order to find his rhythm. Too many movies in the last years.
