If you’ve already done Gandhi and gotten an Oscar for your work, can Salvador Dali be far behind, polar opposites as those twin figures might be? Daliland is a piece of cake for Ben Kingsley, who stars as Dali in pioneering director Mary Harron’s (
American Psycho,
I Shot Andy Warhol,
The Notorious Betty Page,
Charlie Says) arresting new film, and a gateau for us as well…. We enter
Daliland, the crazy world of Dali and his dynamic, equally iconoclastic wife Gala (Fassbinder standby Barbara Sukowa) through the eyes of a young assistant, trying to find his own place in the art world, only to enter another universe, that of Dali and Gala. “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.
