DISQUS

I saw Little Ashes at Raindance Pattinson exceeded my expectation and is very convincing as Dali and as the film progresses he grows into the Dali we think we know.Pattinson and Beltran both give very intense performances and you totally buy into the Dali/Lorca relationship. The actors had great chemistry with one another.

The sexual aspects of the story are handled beautifully. The scene between Pattinson and Beltran in the moonlit waters is so incredibly beautiful and it probably ranks as the most gorgeous looking scene I've ever seen. The cinematographer on this film needs a pat on the back as does the composer and costume designer. The scene where Dali watches Lorca make love to Magdalena sounds titilating but actually is a heartbreaking moment and Pattinson is incredible.

The growing fascination between Lorca and Dali is beautfully played out and the script has obviously been crafted with care and attention. The director deserves much praise for handling this film with such tact and sensitivity and I hope it gets picked up for a decent cinema release.I wont spoil the end for people but its particularly tragic and Pattinson really shines in this key moment.

I forgot to say the accents of Pattinson and McNulty were excellent. Not too OTT. Towards the end of the final Pattinson has to put on a more affected voice - showing how Dali has changed since he's been away. There is quite a bit of nudity in the film but you dont see the money shot. Although you do see a hell of a lot of Pattinson's body - not that I was complaining. The film was only made for just over a million. They did wonders with it. The costumes and cinematography was wonderful. Spain has never looked more gorgeous.

Saw the film at screening and Pattinson and Beltran had wonderful chemistry. Both actors got the essence of the characters. Pattinson's role was harder as its so easy to go over the top but he pulled off a wonderful performance. The film looks visually stunning. A totally engrossing and absorbing film. Fangirls of Pattinson will have much to enjoy. He makes a great on screen drunk and has excellent comic timing. Javier Beltran was excellent and has the larger role of the two roles but he doesnt have that little extra special quality that Pattinson has. I suppose thats what they mean by star quality.

so does this take place before or after he wins the Tri-Wizard tournament?

I rather liked the trailer, but Pattinson's accent seems shakey. There are times it sounds good, but other times where it sounds awful. The film looks pretty well shot, heck, the quality looks better than Twilight and the budget was a lot bigger for that film! I'm not sure if Pattinson will pull this off, but I'm interested to see what he can do.

Why would Dali speak english in Spain in 1922? Yeah...passing on this and the Al Pacino film. Waiting for Antonio to give it a shot.

Rated R for Sexual Content and A Brief Disturbing Image. Does this disturbing image involve a woman's eye get slit open with a straight razor? That shot still gets to me.
