Editorial Reviews

A major critical film biography of Salvador Dali. This film presents Dali's entire oeuvre--painting, sculpture, writing, fashion and film--in the context of his extraordinary life and international career. It has been constructed through a combination of specially shot location footage, archival film, feature film material, rostrum filmings of Dali's paintings and interviews with his friends and colleagues. The narration of the film has been drawn from Dali's own writings. In "Dali," the great Spanish painter is finally captured in all his inimitable glory!

5.0 out of 5 stars short but fascinating, February 17, 2000

This review is from: Dali (DVD)

This excellent, 75 min. docu on Dali is a must for any hardcore Dali fan. There are lots of shots of his paintings & also interview segments with him & a segment on his brilliantly surreal film, Un Chien Andalou & 2 commercials he made for Alka Seltzer and chocolates (!) when he was older & even a black and white photo of him and Alice Cooper. And a thankfully brief closing when he was horribly old and stricken with Parkinson's disease. And tho the box says this docu is in black & white, thank God that's not correct. Check it out!

This review is from: Dali (DVD)

This documentary should equally satisfy those already familiar with Dali and those who know nothing about him. I can't imagine anyone not being entertained by this display of Dali's unique personality. Passionate admires of Dali may find it difficult to view the footage of the Divine Dali not looking so divine in the 80's. A huge plus is the sub-titles even when Dali is speaking in English. Some important people are interviewed such as Man Ray, Max Ernst and Albert Field (author of the must have Official Catalog of the Graphic Works of Salvador Dali) among others. I saw this documentary two nights in a row and enjoyed it just as much the second time around.

This review is from: Dali (DVD)

I used this in my high school art classroom. It was not as good as others I've used about Dali. Mixture of subtitles and English broke the flow. I would have liked to see more about his work, more samples of his work and less of his history. Good for viewing out of interest in Dali, just not too enthralling for students (of course, they can be a tough audience).
