Enjoyed it so much

"Esperando a Dalí" is an enchanting journey to the sun-soaked streets of 1974 Barcelona, set against the backdrop of Franco's dictatorship. This film skillfully weaves together the worlds of art, love, and revolution through the lives of two brothers, Fernando and Alberto. Fernando, portrayed by Iván Massagué, brings his culinary artistry to life as he becomes captivated by the magical realm of Salvador Dalí's imagination.

The picturesque coastal village of Cadaqués, with its rustic charm, serves as the perfect canvas for this tale of creativity and passion. The character of Lola, played by Clara Ponsot, adds a layer of intrigue and romance, drawing Fernando into a world where the humble yet delicious wonders of local cuisine blend seamlessly with the surreal.

José García's portrayal of Jules, with his dream of enticing Dalí to dine at his chaotic but magical restaurant, adds an element of whimsy and ambition to the story. The pursuit of an artistic genius, Salvador Dalí, serves as the catalyst for Fernando's culinary journey, pushing him to create a masterpiece fit for a master.

"Esperando a Dalí" celebrates the indomitable human spirit and the power of art to transcend the constraints of a repressive era. The film captures the essence of a turbulent time in Spain's history while highlighting the transformative and unifying nature of creativity. It's a story of love, rebellion, and the pursuit of excellence, all set against the backdrop of Dalí's surreal world.

With its rich emotional depth and vivid storytelling, "Esperando a Dalí" is a sun-drenched love letter to genius and a testament to the idea that even in the darkest of times, the human spirit can soar to new heights of creativity and inspiration. The birth of "El Surreal," the planet's greatest restaurant, is a testament to the enduring power of art and love.

Perfect film after a long hard day

You came home after a stressful day and want to empty your head? Then join the club.

They made the perfect movie for such nights. It is a heart-warming easy to watch movie without any kind of mystery, tragedy or anything similar that would upset you even more.

Of course it is not a masterpiece and nobody expects it to be. Simple story, great acting and the vast blue of Mediterranean sea...

Since I am no expert movie critic, I'm not able to determine what inspires it, but there is always some warmth in Spanish movies. They deliver you a feeling as if you could have known these people or that you had been a neighbour living around the corner. Is it the acting? I don't know what but I like it.

Warm and beautiful film

"Esperando a Dalí" is a wonderful example of the traditional European cinema, which comes around so rarely these days. It got all of it - admirable characters, human passion, soft humor, and the best of all - wonderful atmosphere.

The movie plot is not very original, there were plenty of "high cuisine" films in recent years, but it is merely an excuse to introduce the characters and set the scenery. You pretty much know what to expect and what the ending will be, but it does not change for a bit the enjoyment of watching.

José Garcia is doing a wonderful job by portraying passionate, partially eccentric (like Dali himself), obsessed with idea, yet not disconnected from reality, restaurant owner Jules. Such characters need to be played with fine tune to remain believable and José Garcia succeeds with gusto.

Every other character got great fit as well, but it worth to bring out Clara Ponsot as Lola. Nowadays, when the expression "strong independent female character" became almost a synonym for a "b..tch", it is so nice to see beautiful and direct person instead.

So spend two hours smiling, relaxing and enjoying this wonderful movie.
