‘Dalíland’ Review: Ben Kingsley Stars (with an Assist by Ezra Miller) in Mary Harron’s Sly Biopic About the Aging and Embattled Salvador Dalí

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic There’s a genre I like so much I can never get enough of it — I call it the Biopic About Someone You Wouldn’t Make a Biopic About. The form came into existence, in a certain way, with “Sid and Nancy,” but it was all but patented by the screenwriters Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, who planted it on the map, in 1994, with “Ed Wood” (still the “Citizen Kane” of the genre), then went on to script “The People vs. Larry Flynt,” “Man on the Moon” (about Andy Kaufman), “Big Eyes” (about the painter Walter Keane and his wife, Margaret, who turned out to be the painter behind the throne), and “Dolemite Is My Name” (about the fluky hustler-comedian Ray Moore). There have been films in the genre from other quarters, like Paul Schrader’s superb “Auto Focus” (about the TV star Bob Crane and his video-fetish sex life), going right up through the recent Toronto Film Festival sensation “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.”
But there’s one director who has been a giant of this genre, even if people don’t tend to think of her that way. That’s Mary Harron, the wickedly gifted maverick who turns out-of-the-box biopic voyeurism into an artful obsession. You get the feeling that Harron, who started out as a punk music journalist, doesn’t care about making the respectable movies she’s supposed to be making. She makes movies about the people who fascinate her. Her first feature was “I Shot Andy Warhol” (1996), and it’s still a thriller, a movie that dared to treat Warhol‘s demented would-be assassin Valerie Solanas as a feminist heroine (without soft-pedaling in any way how unhinged she was), even as it gave us the best portrait of life inside the Factory that has ever been filmed. Since then, Harron’s

Zurich Honoree Ben Kingsley Talks Being an ‘Icon,’ Finding That Perfect Salvador Dalí Moustache
Marta Balaga “Dalíland” star Ben Kingsley felt the presence of the famous painter when making his latest film, directed by Mary Harron. “Some days [Salvador Dalí] would come, saying: ‘I will just sit here for a while. Put your brush on the canvas and good luck.’ Later on, I really felt he allowed me to make an attempt at portraying him,” he told Variety during an online press conference at Zurich Film Festival. “He was mercurial, deliberately tried to wrong-foot people and quite difficult to pin down apart from the voice, the moustache, the eyes.

‘Daliland’ Review: Ben Kingsley Delivers Whimsy and Chaos as Salvador Dali
Twenty-six years after making “I Shot Andy Warhol,” filmmaker Mary Harron returns to the late ’60s/early ’70s New York art world with “Dalíland,” this time with greater mastery and style. Ben Kingsley stars as Salvador Dalí, the eccentric Spanish surrealist artist who paraded around sporting a handlebar mustache and dressed like a 16th century conquistador in the glam-rock era. Harron dabbles in her own take on surrealism by converging Dalí’s romantic headspace and the ever-present decadent party scene.
