Dalíland

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Mary Harron, DALÍLAND stars Sir Ben Kingsley as the titular Salvador Dalí, one of the most world-renowned artists of the 20th century and focuses on the later years of the strange and fascinating marriage between Dalí and his wife, Gala (Barbara Sukowa), as their seemingly unshakable bond begins to stress and fracture. Set in New York and Spain in 1974, the film is told through the eyes of James (Christopher Briney), a young assistant keen to make his name in the art world, who helps the eccentric and mercurial Dalí prepare for a big gallery show.

2022, 104 minutes, USA, Directed by Mary Harron

  • “Feels both timeless and allegorical…twenty-six years after making ‘I Shot Andy Warhol,’ filmmaker Mary Harron returns to the late ’60s/early ’70s New York art world with ‘Dalíland,’ this time with greater mastery and style.”

    – Martin Tsai, THE WRAP
  • “Intriguing and entertaining…Kingsley’s performance is engaging, charismatic, and endearing.”

    – Andy Howell, FILM THREAT
  • “Decadent…a satisfying portrait.”

    – Mick LaSalle, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
  • “The latest of the director's splendidly offbeat biopics captures the madness, the comedy and the tragedy of the surrealist legend who turned his very identity into a work of art.”

    – Owen Gleiberman, VARIETY
  • “A fascinating portrait of an artist whose identity is buried underneath layers of self-invention.”

    – Brian Eggert, DEEP FOCUS REVIEW
  • “Entertaining and genuinely eye-popping.”

    – John DeFore, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
