Description
Cast: Anaïs Demoustier, Edouard Baer, Romain Duris
Iconic surrealist Salvador Dalí gets a “real fake biopic” worthy of his mischievous legacy. Five actors swap in and out of the tiiiiitle role as the film anarchically stacks dreams within dreams, trips us up with false starts and fakeout endings, and generally has a blast thumbing its nose at every rule of conventional biopics. This daffy caricature comes courtesy of contemporary cinema’s clearest Dalí descendent, Quentin Dupieux.
