Little Ashes

Rating: 6

I foolishly had high hopes for this one - about the youthful Salvador Dali, Federico Garcia Lorca and Luis Bunuel, but it disappoints. My Dad summed up the type of dialogue that makes biopics about legendary characters suck as follows:

Bunuel: Hey Salvador Dali! That's quite a surrealist painting you've got going on there.
Dali: I only wish my paintings were as beautiful as Lorca's anti-fascism poems!
Lorca: Luis, please go back to your black & white eyeball-cutting art films while I suck on Dali's mustache!

Wait - I'm making it sound way cooler than it is.

I would actually see it of it had dialoge like that.
