Review of Daliland

Daliland (2022)
3/10
Dali or not Dali
25 August 2023
Ben Kingsley, Barbara Sukowa, Christopher Briney, Rupert Graves, Alexander Beyer, Andreja Pejic, Suki Waterhouse and Ezra Miller are in the cast in this 2023 film directed by Canadian screenwriter and director Mary Harron.

Magnolia Pictures distributed the film, which opened at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival, which is a very interesting choice for them.

It is certain that all the works that use the 1970s New York and Spain as a set and Dali as the subject of his story in one way or another have the same problem...

What's that?

At the point where today's cinema has reached, it is an effort to tell a name like Dali, who has become a legend both in the art environment, in history and in pop-culture, with his perspective and language of expression...

Naturally, this does not fit because Dali is one of the names that set those standards.

The only person who can benefit from works that can describe Dali in the standards set by Dali is Dali himself... many of his works are still pregnant with ongoing debates.

Ben Kingsley did his best as usual, yes, the movie can be considered successful in terms of cinematography (Marcel Zyskind)... But we were not one in the script (John C. Walsh) part.

I can't understand why a person like John C. Walsh, who has worked in mediocre jobs, has such a mission.

Naturally, the movie can't promise anything other than its mediocre line.
