If only this film stuck to that idea and didn’t take a detour into a misbegotten coming of age plotline about the young assistant both Dalis take a shine to in their own way.

Into this world comes James (newcomer Christopher Briney) who serves as a young assistant to Dali who definitely wants the kid around and begins to mentor him.

Although he is thrilled to be now in the inner circle of a true legend and hoping to learn the art business as it were, James also sees a darker side , not only of that world, but also the insecurity within this icon who has seen better days in the spotlight but now seems, under the surface, not who he once was. Nevertheless Dali and Gala put on a good show as they prepare to indeed put on a new show.
