‘Little Ashes’ won award at Italian Film Festival
IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THIS MOVIE THEN I THINK YOU NEED TO RIGHT NOW!
COPIED AND PASTE
SCHERMI D’AMORE 2010
The award winners at the International Festival of Film Melodrama
AUDIENCE PRIZE – THE SCHERMI D’AMORE ROSE
The Schermi d’Amore Rose goes to the film Little Ashes (Great Britain – Spain, 2009) directed by Paul Morrison.
This year it was once again the audience who awarded the prize at the 14th festival dedicated to romantic films and melodrama.
Winner of Schermi d’Amore in 1999 with Solomon and Gaenor, which had its world première in Verona, Paul Morrison’s was among the five foreign films nominated for Oscars the following year. Now the refined British director has once again been recognized for his talent with a biopic which takes him from Wales in the 1910s (the setting for Solomon and Gaenor) to the Spain of the 1920s, for a tragic love story. The tormented relationship between Federico García Lorca (1899–1936) and Salvador Dalí (1904–1989), which the painter – after the Andalusian dramatist’s execution by Franco’s supporters – kept secret until the final years of his life. The Surrealist genius – played by Robert Pattinson before starring in Twilight – is portrayed during his university years, torn between his attraction for the author of Sonnets of Dark Love and his desire for fame and fortune, which would take him to Paris with the director Luis Buñuel (1900–1983), the third legendary Spanish figure with whom he would create the famous short, Un chien andalou (1929).

ROBERT PATTINSON TALKS ABOUT BEING STRIAGHT AND PLAYING GAY
IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN LITTLE ASHES ITS NOT WHAT IT APPEARS TO BE. ITS A GREAT MOVIE, TOUCHING AND YET SEXY, I DO RECCOMEND IT HIGHLY
COPIED AND PASTE
He won't come clean about dating Kristen Stewart, but Robert Pattinson will admit to being "straight."
The British star, who reportedly popped a Valium before auditioning for "Twilight" with Stewart, tells London's Times that he was not entirely comfortable with his gay sex scenes in "Little Ashes."
In the art house film, Pattinson plays Spanish artist Salvador Dali, who embarks on a sexual relationship with writer Frederico Garcia Lorca (played by Javier Beltrán).
"We were both straight, but he was Spanish, so much more confident about being naked and stuff," Pattinson told the Times of his co-star.
He admits that love scenes can be just as "awkward" with a girl. For his on-screen romance with Emilie de Ravin in "Remember Me," for example, it was a closed set.
Yet despite all the precautions Pattinson took for the film - including "a little patch on your privates" - his sex scenes didn't go quite as smoothly as he had hoped.
"I’d spent so long taping [the patch] round myself and then literally it falls off within one second and it’s taped to the sheet," Pattinson tells the British newspaper. "You realize the whole crew are looking directly at your b--- crack."

Little Ashes Review
I SAW THIS MOVIE ITS A GREAT MOVIE I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD SEE IT!
COPIED AND PASTE
Presenting Luis Buñuel as boisterous and domineering, Salvador Dali as an insecure, pretentious performer and Federico García Lorca as a tortured romantic, Little Ashes tells a tale of (mostly) forbidden love amongst Spain's most notorious (partially) Surrealist gang of rebels. It simplifies these larger-than-life figures, whose known work expands far beyond the character attributes demonstrated in this film, reducing them to one-note signifiers to further a queer agenda. Identification filters through Lorca (Javier Beltran), the political martyr, as he and Buñuel (Matthew McNulty) develop a close bond with Dali (Robert Pattinson), an overly affected new student at their University. Brief mentions are made of their art and politics, with Buñuel idealizing France as a bastion of freedom, but mostly we get Lorca giving Dali doe-eyed glances when not ignoring the flirtations of his writer friend, Magdalena (Marina Gatell). While these romantic complications do indeed provide ire and tension, putting ideology to the test with a homophobic, gay-bashing Buñuel (a potential cinematic embellishment), a lack of vested energy in surrounding narrative trajectories limits the overall experience. The only moments filmed with passion and intensity are those of homosexual desire, with the camera lingering on brief kisses and touches, relegating Magdalena's pain to a clumsy scene of realization, with a requisite second-long sad expression, and Buñuel's contribution of a few uttered "faggots" and an unexplained change of heart. Even the climax of the film — a tragic end that most of us are familiar with — is limited to a brief scene of street panic, jumping sloppily to the inevitable conclusion. Had equal amounts passion and subtlety fuelled sequences unfortunately deemed erroneous (along with significant character consideration), this interesting tale could easily have gone from curious failure to a sweeping emotional success. As it stands, Ashes is little more than a slight to the men it portrays, boasting a handful of powerful moments, but mostly flat plot machinations. Included with the DVD are cast and crew interviews.
