A fictionalized account of Dali’s early life, “Little Ashes” is a contemporary story about universal themes such as love and relationships, longing, loss and betrayal. The three main characters are important Spanish figures – Salvador Dali, poet Federico Garcia Lorca and filmmaker Luis Bunuel – who met as students at the Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid. Dali, Lorca and Bunuel defied their society’s politics and forged new ground during a time when being an artist was revolutionary – and being a gay or bisexual artist was dangerous. Together, these distinct personalities learn from each other and develop a complex new language about the nature of art. (2008, 112 minutes, directed by Paul Morrison and starring Robert Pattinson)
