Dalí & Film.

The exhibition Dalí & Film opens at the Tate Modern on June 1 and will be on view through September 9. The London Times is a "media partner" and accompanies Michael Glover's piece on Buñuel, Dalí and Surrealist cinema with links to a bit of online viewing: Dalí's dream sequence for Hitchcock's Spellbound, the trailer for Destino, his collaboration with Disney, L'Age d'Or and Un chien andalou. For more on these as well as on Dalí's admiration for the Marx Brothers, particularly Harpo (the feeling was mutual), see also Joanna Pitman and, in the Observer, Peter Conrad.

Update, 5/26: "Salvador Dalí was the last of the great cultural outlaws, and probably the last genius to visit our cheap and gaudy planet," writes JG Ballard in the Guardian.
