Check out the trailer for "Little Ashes"Above, the long-awaited official trailer for the upcoming film Little Ashes, which details the friendship and love affair between Salvador Dali (Twilight's Robert Pattinson) and Federico García Lorca (Javier Beltran) ... and third wheel Luis Buñuel (Matthew McNulty). The trailer certainly isn't downplaying the gay angle of the story, and I'm actually genuinely interested for the first time, if only to see Pattinson in a stunning array of wigs and facepaint.

It looks amazing! You can
It looks brill!!
I really need to see this movie! It looks so so good!! :) and I think i'm kinda into Salvidor Dali ;)
Can't wait!
I don't think Pattinson captures....
Just how bizarre Dali really was. I have this documentary on Salvador Dali and he could be a character in a Grant Morrison Graphic Novel - that's how weird he was. Which I think is fantastic. The other problem with Pattinson is that he's really handsome and Dali never was that good-looking.
Personally, I prefer Dali's art over Picasso, although Picasso really did shatter some artistic boundaries - Dali went even further than Picasso. I get the sense that Picasso is more popular even though Dali obviously is the greater talent.
My Little Ashes Review
I saw Little Ashes at Raindance in London a few months ago. Pattinson exceeded my expectation and is very convincing as Dali and as the film progresses he grows into the Dali we think we know.Pattinson and Beltran both give very intense performances and you totally buy into the Dali/Lorca relationship. The actors had great chemistry with one another.
The sexual aspects of the story are handled beautifully. The scene between Pattinson and Beltran in the moonlit waters is so incredibly beautiful and it probably ranks as the most gorgeous looking scene I've ever seen. The cinematographer on this film needs a pat on the back as does the composer and costume designer. The scene where Dali watches Lorca make love to Magdalena sounds titilating but actually is a heartbreaking moment and Pattinson is incredible.
The growing fascination between Lorca and Dali is beautfully played out and the script has obviously been crafted with care and attention. The director deserves much praise for handling this film with such tact and sensitivity and I hope it gets picked up for a decent cinema release.I wont spoil the end for people but its particularly tragic and Pattinson really shines in this key moment.
I hope you go and see it when it comes out at the end of March (limited release) because I doubt you'll be disappointed. If you only know Pattinson for the film Twilight then dont be put off. He's really incredible in this. Shows what you can do with a good script and director.
