Little Ashes
British director Paul Morrison makes an interesting film about the early lives of three Spanish artists, surreal painter Salvador Dalí, filmmaker Luis Buñuel and writer Federico García Lorca. At the center is the bond between Lorca and Dalí who develop a mutual attraction that might have changed them as the artists they would later become. Because Morrison taps into the life of celebrated artists, the film falls short somehow. Javier Beltrán as Lorca and Matthew McNulty as Buñuel are perfectly cast while Robert Pattinson as Dalí seems an awkward choice in the film's weakest link amongst others.
