A comic drama about the weird and wonderful world of Salvador Dali and the Surrealists. This film charts Dali's meteoric rise from obscurity to the world's most publicised artist.
Acting
Bremner's Dali is unhinged perfection; Fry's Breton steals every scene.
Costume
That mustache deserves its own billing.
Writing
Wittier than most biopics with triple the runtime.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Matt Lucas and Vic Reeves were already comedy royalty; this was their 'prestige' era.
Made for BBC Four's 'Surrealism Season' — yes, that was a real programming block and we were robbed of more.
