Freundeskreis FILMKUNSTFEST Mecklenburg-Vorpommern e. V. Barbara Sukowa Award Winner 'Goldener Ochse 2025' 46th FilmSaloN Dalíland

This is how an entrance goes: Spanish artist Salvador Dalí (Ben Kingsley), his moustache freshly waxed and twirled up, in a pompous robe, with his similarly decked-out wife Gala (Barbara Sukowa) on his arm, enters the party room of his hotel suite. He was certainly not lacking in eccentricity, especially in old age: Mary Harron's biopic tells of the late, successful years in the 1970s, in which Dalí's cheques became works of art, regardless of their amount, simply because he signed them. In which the parties at the St. Regis Hotel in New York, where the Dalís "hibernated", were de facto orgies, with guests such as Amanda Lear (Andreja Pejić), Alice Cooper (Mark McKenna) and other "beautiful people".
