*** #tafffcinema *** NEW ON DIGITAL *** A portrait of the master of surrealism by the French master of surreal humor "DAAAAAALI! a comedy written and directed by Quentin Dupieux. Starring: Anaïs Demoustier, Gilles Lellouche, Edouard Baer, Jonathan Cohen, Pio Marmaï, Didier Flamand, Romain Duris, Agnès Hurstel. Official Selection Venice International Film Festival 2023.

(For journalist Judith Rochant (Anaïs Demoustier) the assignment to interview renowned artist Salvador Dalí is a great career opportunity–if only he would agree to sit still and answer a single question. What begins as a 15-minute conversation blows up into a bonafide cinematographic documentary portrait, provided the world’s most enormous cameras are available to film it. As Judith’s interview is delayed, detoured, disrupted, and deranged by Dalí’s inexhaustible self-regard, the journalist finds herself becoming the subject. The legendary painter’s artistry and ego know no bounds, and Daaaaaalí! dutifully casts no less than five actors (Edouard Baer, Jonathan Cohen, Giles Lellouche, Pio Marmaï, and Didier Flamand) as Salvador Dalí in this prismatic portrait. The prolific Quentin Dupieux’s latest comedy is an exercise in dream logic and surrealist homage, with the rug pulled out from under you again and again before you even manage to get up off the floor.)

(Inspired by Le Monde investigative reporter Raphaëlle Bacqué’s biography, Kaiser Karl, Becoming Karl Lagerfeld plunges us into the 1970s, a decade that was key to the legendary fashion designer’s development, both artistically and personally, and long before he created the distinctive persona that became his trademark. At 38, the anonymous ready-to-wear designer meets the great love of his life, Jacques de Bascher, a 21-year-old bourgeois dandy with a penchant for excess and sophisticated insouciance — in stark contrast to Lagerfeld’s buttoned-up workaholic. He also takes on his old friend and arch rival, Yves Saint Laurent, the brilliant haute-couture wunderkind who came to be the “Mozart” to Lagerfeld’s “Salieri”. That clash of egos triggers the evolution of a complex personality, driven by ambition, who would go on to become an icon of Parisian culture and “emperor” of the fashion world.)
