Summary: Great documentary
Review: I'm not sure why the the DVD says black and white (a black and white documentary about an artist makes as much sense as a documentary about Beethoven with no sound). Although the DVD offers nothing extra (other than better video quality) from the VHS, overall its an exceptionally interesting look into the madman who wasn't mad. Highly Recommended for anyone who has ever wondered what makes watches melt.

Summary: Brilliant
Review: My friend Deanali(now following in the footsteps of the great Dali)got me influenced in Dali. After watching this video I am so impressed and there are very few artists alive today that are able to match the late Salvador Dali.This is a must see for all. Thank you, Mary

Summary: Fun & Informative
Review: This documentary should equally satisfy those already familiar with Dali and those who know nothing about him. I can't imagine anyone not being entertained by this display of Dali's unique personality. Passionate admires of Dali may find it difficult to view the footage of the Divine Dali not looking so divine in the 80's. A huge plus is the sub-titles even when Dali is speaking in English. Some important people are interviewed such as Man Ray, Max Ernst and Albert Field (author of the must have Official Catalog of the Graphic Works of Salvador Dali) among others. I saw this documentary two nights in a row and enjoyed it just as much the second time around.

Summary: Abhorrent quality DVD about a great genius.
Review: This DVD is inexcusable. The playback is as choppy and disjointed as streaming video through a 28.8 K modem. It is a horrible disservice to a film that could have been a part of my growing Dalí collection, but will instead be sent back promptly as soon as I finish reviewing it. The horrible quality of the playback makes the amazing quality of the content laughable. If all "Image" DVD's are made with such minimal standards of quality the factory should be bombed.

Summary: short but fascinating
Review: This excellent, 75 min. docu on Dali is a must for any hardcore Dali fan. There are lots of shots of his paintings & also interview segments with him & a segment on his brilliantly surreal film, Un Chien Andalou & 2 commercials he made for Alka Seltzer and chocolates (!) when he was older & even a black and white photo of him and Alice Cooper. And a thankfully brief closing when he was horribly old and stricken with Parkinson's disease. And tho the box says this docu is in black & white, thank God that's not correct. Check it out!
