Midnight in Paris and Dali

 

Did you manage catch Midnight in Paris while it was showing at the Cathay Picturehouse last month?

An American romantic comedy-fantasy film produced by Woody Allen, this delightful gem not only  features a star-studded cast (Owen Wilson,  Rachel McAdams, Adrien Brody, and so on) – but also some of the greatest literary and artistic stars of history. The Rotten Tomatoes community certified it “Fresh” with a whopping 93% rating!

If you are familiar with renowed historical characters such as Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein and Cole Porter, you’d absolutely love this film as much as we did. It’s a light-hearted and whimsical tale about how the protagonist – an American screenwriter, Gil, who visits Paris with his fiancée and her family – discovers a way to travel back in time to the 1920s, an era that he admires and idolizes. Even Pablo Piccaso is part of the storyline; and more importantly… Adrien Brody starring as Salvadore Dali!

Dali's sculpture, the Rhinoceros Dressed in Lace (produced using the lost wax technique), is currently located at our Gallery in Pavilion KL.

It’s a shame if you didn’t manage to catch Midnight in Paris on the big screens; but how about considering a cozy popcorn and movie night at home with friends or family when you manage to get your hands on the DVD? In the meanwhile, don’t forget to check out our other other Dali sculptures when you drop by any of our Galleries, be it in Singapore or KL.
We hope you had a fun and restful weekend, and wish you a happy Monday!
