Nice, again.
It's strange how Dupieux stays within a relatively narrow genre, but still manages to do something different. This time a biography of Dali, an ideal subject for some absurdism and comedy, of course. With the help of a loopy, self-revolving plot, Dupieux manages to make something of his own again.
At the same time, that formula now feels quite familiar, which is why I'm starting to hope for a slightly greater innovation in his upcoming films. Visually it is a bit better, the soundtrack remains disappointing (especially since Bangalter was included). But otherwise a very cool film, I still enjoy it easily.
4.0* and a extensive review

Daaaaaali! is the latest Quintin Dupieux film. A film about Dali, with Dali, by Dali and under Dali. Or upstairs? Luckily Dali is in it, that makes everything better. It also helps that he helps me a bit with writing this review. No, I know I should say more clearly that you helped me, Salvador, but I'm still busy… I laughed a lot, laughing at the jokes and at Dali. Because it's so good and because the story is well written. But the story is an image. An image with sound and text. So it's not all that simple. A real Dali cannot be simple, but is better than many others. So good in fact, that this immediately makes it the best review of Daaaaaali! is. Because the spirit of Dali is present. I'm just kidding, Dali is still alive. In fact, he secretly filmed Dupieux when he made this film.
Fortunately, everything falls into place in the end.
End.
But it would be a better ending to the review if I came up with a nice one-liner. Well done, I passed.
End of the review.
Good job!
Stop reading now.

The trailer is disgustingly repulsive but fortunately the film is much better – and more intelligent – than the trailer suggests. Ostensibly the film is not even about Dalí or his surrealist art but we are treated to Dupieux's almost farcical absurdism, but the film turns out to be a comprehensive portrait of Dalí. The film contains two intertwined main stories, on the one hand the apparently fruitless attempts of an amateur journalist to interview Dalí, in which Dalí is portrayed as the eccentric, narcissistic, megalomaniac artist who wants all eyes on him and who agrees that he himself is the real work of art, and on the other hand the dream within a dream within a dream etc. of the priest, in which Dalí's surrealism that was inspired by dreams becomes a game with reality, including absurdist interchanges and anachronisms that we also know from Dalí's work. Both come together in Dalí's love for film (with Buñuel he made the surrealist cinematographic classic Un Chien Andalou): the film ultimately delivers – just like the journalist in the film – a cinematographic portrait of Dalí in the confusing surrealist form of a film within a film within a film, etc.
