SALVADOR DALÍ in A FONDO (WITH THEIR OWN WORDS) November 27, 1977 B / W 56 minutes

The starting point of this program is the edition of one of his books: "Open letter to Salvador Dalí" (1977). That of a writer is his lesserknown side: «My father used to say that he was much better writing than painting, and it is surely true ... painters are very stupid ... on the other hand, writers are much more intelligent, and if I were less intelligent, he would undoubtedly paint much better.
Since his years at the Madrid Student Residence, where he met Federico García Lorca «the greatest friendship I have ever had», his relationships with writers and writing were constant: «I have been writing for forty years to find out who I am and I have not yet succeeded ».
Joaquín Soler Serrano succeeds in getting Dalí to abandon his most superficial and histrionic character for an hour, thus demonstrating his exceptional command of language, always accompanied by an extraordinary sense of humor: «If there were two thousand Picassos, thirty Dalís, fifty Einsteins, the world It would be practically uninhabitable, but let no one be scared, there are none ”.
