    A good and attractive documentary about Dali's life and his loved muse , Gala
    The life of surrealist painter Salvador Dalí and his relationship with his wife Gala of dark origins . The latter had former loving relationships with Salvador Dali, Paul Eluard , Max Ernst and others . As the documentary deals with two enigmatic characters revolving around their outlandish and thunderous lives . This splendid documentary carries out an intimate investigation about these controversial and eccentric figures , Dali and Gala , usually living in Port Lligat and Figueras.

    Focusing on Dalí and Gala in 1948 moved back into their house in Port Lligat, on the coast near Cadaqués. For the next three decades, they would spend most of their time there, spending winters in Paris and New York . As Dalí moved further towards embracing Catholicism he introduced more religious iconography and themes in his painting. In 1949 he painted a study for The Madonna of Port Lligat to Pope Pius XII during an audience arranged to discuss Dalí 's marriage to Gala. This work was a precursor to the phase Dalí dubbed "Nuclear Mysticism," a fusion of Einsteinian physics, classicism, and Catholic mysticism. As well as as this nice documentary deals with the peculiar relationship between Dali and his muse , the mysterioud Gala . As Gala had a long relationship to poet Paul Eluard with whom she married in 1927 and they gave birth a daughter , but she didn't pay her attention due to she hated maternal life . The marriage became involved into a sentimental relation with Max Ernst . Later on , she met Andre Breton, and Salvador Dali , the genius and offbeat painter , with whom fell in love and after divorcing Paul Eluard , they married in 1932 . After that , they took a time in United States where scandalized really with their outlandish ways of life and extreme eccentricity . In the documentary there are various interviews to people who had relationship with Salvador Dali and Gala . This acceptable documentary being decently realized with information and entertainment enough . Resulting to be a better than average documentary competently directed by David Pujol who also made other documentaries , such as : El Bulli - Historia de un sueño , Cadaqués, l'excepció , Dali's Last Masterpiece , Esperando a Dali and a film : La Biblia Negra. There're other cinematic biographic adaptations about these famous characters : ¨Dali¨ 1991 by Antoni Ribas with Francesco Quinn as Salvador and Sarah Douglas as Gala and ¨Gala¨ (2003) by Silvia Munt.

    Adding more remarks about Salvador Dali : Born in Figueres, Catalonia, Spain, Dalí received his formal education in fine arts in Madrid. Influenced by Impressionism and the Renaissance masters from a young age he became increasingly attracted to Cubism and avant-garde movements. He moved closer to Surrealism in the late 1920s and joined the Surrealist group in 1929, soon becoming one of its leading exponents. His best-known work, The Persistence of Memory, was completed in August 1931, and is one of the most famous Surrealist paintings. Dalí lived in France throughout the Spanish Civil War (1936 to 1939) before leaving for the United States in 1940 where he achieved commercial success. He returned to Spain in 1948 where he announced his return to the Catholic faith and developed his "nuclear mysticism" style, based on his interest in classicism, mysticism, and recent scientific developments. Dalí's artistic repertoire included painting, graphic arts, film, sculpture, design and photography, at times in collaboration with other artists. He also wrote fiction, poetry, autobiography, essays and criticism. Major themes in his work include dreams, the subconscious, sexuality, religion, science and his closest personal relationships. To the dismay of those who held his work in high regard, and to the irritation of his critics, his eccentric and ostentatious public behavior often drew more attention than his artwork. His public support for the Francoist regime, his commercial activities and the quality and authenticity of some of his late works have also been controversial. His life and work were an important influence on other Surrealists, pop art and contemporary artists such as Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst. There are two major museums devoted to Salvador Dalí's work: the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, Spain, and the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.
