Little Ashes Review

Beautifully evocative of the 1920's, a gorgeous film replete with tailored clothes, period cars, and location shooting. A talented cast and poetic script make this a sensuous journey to another age and culture.

Although the film focuses more on the poet Lorca than Dali, it perfectly captures the free-wheeling artistic milieu and the fervor of young artists finding themselves, creating environments with words, paint, costumes to express who they are.

Recommended for a dreamy night spent in another time, another country, being other people.

I'll definitely watch this one. I love Dali.

Had an inkling about the kinky side, but I don't think much about people's personal life, I can keep it apart from my appreciation of their art.

RJ: how kind of you to notice! (fluffing Topiary importantly)

Karen: Pretty sure you will love this movie and personally Cow can't wait to see what you think of it!

Cow didn't know much about Dali so it will be interesting to hear whether you thought it was realistic or not...

Moo!
