Dirty Dali (2007)
 
60'
Channel 4
Director: Guy Evans
Executive Producer: Adam Bullmore
 
 

Critic Brian Sewell had a "mutually confessional" sexual friendship with surrealist master Salvador Dali, which flowered over four summers at Dalí's home in Spain. Sewell makes the case that Dalí was a painter of technical brilliance whose talent reached its high point in the 1930s, but declined into vulgarity when he moved to the US and embraced the cult of celebrity.

 
  Reviews  
  "The elegant, mellifluously voiced art critic Brian Sewell has always had the ability to startle. With his sensational Channel 4 TV documentary about Salvador Dalí, he may have created his masterpiece." - The Guardian

"Unmissable" - The Observer
