So this is all quite useful how he could always take things further into the stratosphere & beyond with extreme Wit & talent coupled to extraordinary intelligence.

      In my opinion Bond is far too full of himself...its less about Dali than himself pompously prating. And why the music from the Ipcress File...its not a spy movie is it? The doc itself is full of TV cliches like the fake arrivals...in which sense it is about as far from Dalis spirit as possible.

      Indeed , making a lemonade from the lemon . A 20-40 year old lemon that is , its a bad lemonade . But you know , when making a documentary about something as fresh as Dali , its very hard .

    The movie of a director bathing in the fading light of his association with an artist. The affectations of the film's premise and editing are weak attempts at being as controversial, provocative and well drafted as the artist's work often were. All the while papering over any accusations of the film maker's amorality, or worse, by occasionally referring to the Dali's failures as a human being but not exploring them beyond the a vague conversational sophistry. Amazing artist but an Ayn Rand of a human being.
