Daaaaaali!

It’s not a sophisticated bit, but Dupieux’s commitment to illogical anti-humor remains pretty disarming.

If Daaaaaalí! reads more as an artistic experiment than a fully realized feature, perhaps Dupieux was aiming for that all along, a daring work that upends expectations at every turn. One hopes it’s what Dalí would’ve wanted too.

Quentin Dupieux melts the frames that separate dream, film, and reality until they become one plate of tangled spaghetti.

Daaaaaali keeps the audience guessing about it, and a lot more, all through its crisp and compelling 78 minutes.

Maybe the director’s greatest feat here is that despite the five different actors and all the background nonsense, he makes the beloved, mercurial madman the most consistent presence amid all the other, far more normcore characters.

As one of the 21st century’s most prominent surrealists (faint praise indeed, given his niche status), Dupieux was the perfect man to lead audiences on a victory lap through 20th-century surrealism’s greatest hits.

All the way charming and hilarious to the point of being a distraction of its own making. Expect to be left satisfied and smiling

Without Buñuel or David Lynch in the world, perhaps Dupieux is the last filmmaker to seek, through his mind and dreams—rather than through special effects—a creative alternative to reality. [Full review in Spanish]

Daaaaalí is a sensitive film, and the best feeling it leaves is that Salvador Dalí's artistic genius forces us to look at the world from a different perspective...[Full review in Spanish]

Daaaaaali! is exactly what you are hoping for, but it will only hover a few feet off the ground instead of meeting you on the moon.
