Little Ashes

Little Ashes (2008) is a period drama about a young Salvador Dalí you can watch online on iFILM. Madrid, 1922: an awkward eighteen-year-old painter arrives at the city's liveliest student residence, hungry to become someone.

There Dalí (Robert Pattinson) falls in with the poet Federico García Lorca and the budding filmmaker Luis Buñuel. What grows between the painter and the poet is an attraction neither man will say out loud. As Spain drifts toward dictatorship and civil war, friendship, jealousy and betrayal reshape all three lives.

Director Paul Morrison centers the story on the Dalí nobody pictures — years before the moustache, the showmanship and the fame. Pattinson plays him raw and uncertain, a sharp turn for anyone who knows him only from Twilight. Stream Little Ashes (2008) online on iFILM.
