I recently saw the trailed of this new movie called Little Ashes, which tells the story of the homosexual love affair between two of my favorite artists, painter Salvador Dalí and Federico García Lorca. In case you don't know, Salvador Dalí was a surrealist painter who is known for his The Persistence of Memory, which is a strange picture with melted clocks and what looks like half the face of a man
on the floor. Federico García Lorca was a poet and playwright; his play The House of Bernarda Alba is an allegory of the cruelty of the Spanish government. García Lorca's cruel death was the subject of the 1997 film The Disappearance of Federico García Lorca (also known as Death in Granada, as a reference to his poem "Lament for Ignacio Sanchez Mejías"), with Andy Garcia as the revolutionary poet.

But when I saw the trailer, and confirmed it through a wikipedia article, I was thrilled. I really want to see this, and it's not because of Robert Pattinson, ha-ha!
