Little Ashes

About This Movie

Little Ashes captures a unique moment in the early 20th century, exploring the intertwining lives of Salvador Dalí, Luis Buñuel, and Federico García Lorca. The film is drenched in a dreamy, almost surreal atmosphere, echoing the artistic fervor of the time. With its slow pacing, it allows for intimate character exploration and a deep dive into the complex relationships, especially the tension between Dalí and Lorca. The performances are quite striking; Robert Pattinson as Dalí offers a nuanced portrayal, while Javier Beltrán’s García Lorca is filled with passion. There’s a tangible authenticity to the period details and practical effects that ground the story in its historical context, making it an interesting portrayal of creativity and desire.
