Dalíland - Official Trailer | Starring Sir Ben Kingsley | Directed by Mary Harron | Opens June 9
Mary Harron (director of American Psycho and I Shot Andy Warhol), is directing a film about Salvador Dalí called Dalíland starring Ben Kingsley as Dalí.
If you were hoping for a biopic, you’ll be disappointed as Dalíland focuses on the artist’s strained later years and his relationship with his wife, Gala (played by Barbara Sukowa). The film is set in New York and Spain in 1974 and told by James (played by Christopher Briney), Dalí’s new assistant who preps the eccentric artist for a big gallery show. Interestingly, we also see Ezra Miller star as a younger Dalí which I didn’t see coming but given who this film is about, it probably won’t be the strangest thing we’ll see.
