Daliland

In 1970s, the 70-year-old surrealist Salvador Dali lives a few months each year at the St Regis Hotel along with his wife and muse, the fierce and volatile Gala Dali. James Linton is a young gallery assistant to whom Dali takes a shine and who he brings into his private world to assist him as he prepares for his new show. Thrilled to be invited into this glamorous new world, James also hopes that in assisting the legendary painter he might learn some truths about the nature of art. Though James is hugely inspired and awed by Dali, he also finds the aging artist to be surprisingly vulnerable, terrified by death, his work of fashion, and his marriage of nearly fifty years in crisis as his wife.
