A young French journalist tried to meet artist Salvador Dalí repeatedly for a documentary film project which never gets off the ground.
Daaaaalí! is a playful and often hilarious mockumentary with a labyrinthine plot involving overlapping dream sequences, unpredictable leaps in time and no less than five different actors portraying the artist. A nervous journalist has to keep coming up with ever more elaborate ways to get a promised interview with the master of surrealist art, Salvador Dalí, who in turn makes ever more outrageous demands. The French master of the absurd Quentin Dupieux (Rubber, Mandibles, Incredible But True) is the perfect director for this spirited tribute to the notorious artist.
