ReviewsHollywood Reporter - enjoyable to watch, partly because it is so beautifully shot by cinematographer Adam Suschitzky, who takes advantage of the rich settings [...] Pattinson captures the initial shyness and growing flamboyance of Dali, and Beltran makes a handsome foil, Little White Lies - the pivotal homosexual love affair is beautifully and sensitively handled, resulting in an intense character piece throbbing with innovation and sexual repression., Daily Express - It does boast a lavish recreation of the period, fabulous costumes, the rugged beauty of some prime European locations and enough torrid emotions to make for a captivating period piece., Total Film - a lush, involving period drama that proves there are other strings to Pattinson's bow.
Consumer AdviceContains strong language and a strong sex scene
Additional InformationFor years, scholars have debated the nature of the relationship between surrealist painter Salvador Dali and poet Federico Garcia Lorca; director Paul Morrison's LITTLE ASHES delves into their personal interaction and their acquaintanceship with Spanish surrealist filmmaker Luis Bunuel, with whom Dali made L'AGE D'OR and UN CHIEN ANDALOU. In 1922 Madrid, bohemian lifestyles are flourishing -- from the arrival of jazz music to the 'en vogue' teachings of Sigmund Freud. As the tale opens, Salvador Dali (Robert Pattinson) is only 18, but his dreams of artistic glory lie poised in front of him; his personality and social attitudes soon draw the attention of two from the in-crowd -- Lorca (Javier Beltran) and Bunuel (Matthew McNulty). For a temporary period, the three become the most 'in' clique in all of Spain and find themselves virtually defining the currents of modernism; however, Bunuel then leaves for Paris, and Salvador and Federico are thrust together even closer than before -- so close that one night, their relations suddenly cross the line from platonic friendship to something far more intimate.
