starlady: (serious business)
I went with my friend S to see the movie "Little Ashes" last night. It explores the relationship between Federico García Lorca and Salvador Dalí from their student days until Lorca's assassination in 1936. No limits )

All in all, it was a thought-provoking film, but it seemed slight where it should have been deep, and deep where it should have been shallow, particularly on the physicality of the Lorca/Dalí relationship. More mainstream movies with gay or bisexual protagonists need to be made, but I think the screenplay should have given more weight to other aspects of Dalí and Lorca than it did.
