However, I look forward to this film. Dali has often been portrayed as a caricature of himself. Perhaps this film, with Bunuel and Lorca, will show a different side.
Well, I think... at least in his mature career, Dali deliberately tried to project a caricature of himself or a totally exaggerated-type persona. Performance or the projection of an eccentric personality was part of his project as an artist. I don't know much at all about Dali's early biography or how his career started out, but later on as an artist he had a reputation, and has a reputation within art history, of occasionally being a pretty unsavory guy. If nothing else, it'll be interesting to learn a little bit more about how Dali's youth is portrayed.
LOL, I'll also say that while doing some googling earlier for some of the posts here in this thread, I came across some images from this film... that would well, make me blush to post them...
So, this will be a totally different kind of film for Pattinson.
