Expat Cinema: Daaaaaalí!

Quentin Dupieux - France - 2024 - 78 minuten - taal: French - ondertiteling: English

A young French journalist makes several attempts to interview Salvador Dalí for a documentary whose shooting will never begin. A ‘real fake biopic’ about the surrealist artist by Quentin Dupieux, the French master of absurd comedy.

With Daaaaaalí! Dupieux stays far away from the prevailing biopic conventions. Dupieux has multiple actors – young and old – play the artist, sometimes switching them midway through a scene. He employs the creative logic of a cinematic neosurrealism: reality becomes dream, dreams nestle into other dreams and objects unexpectedly appear in other places.
