Salvador Dali was one of the most recognised and controversial artists of the 20th century. He was also an avant-garde filmmaker, collaborating with giants such as Luis Bunuel, Walt Disney and Alfred Hitchcock. King surveys the full range of Dali's eccentric activities within the cinema. Influenced by the Marx Brothers, Buster Keaton and Stanley Kubrick, Dali used cinema to bring the dream subjects of his paintings to life, providing the groundwork for revolutionary forays into television, video, photography and holography. Includes a free DVD with examples of his work.
