These three gods of art and culture deserved something better than mediocre adventure film. I admire the talent of Carlos Saura and I'm sure he is great fan of Federico Garica Lorca, Luis Bunuel and Salvador Dali but I think that in order to do something really avantgrade and different he fell into the pool of meanness. The art of these three is out of reach for the modern artists and we should not doubt that. They as godfathers and originators of surrealism created and killed their own grateful child by writing the greatest possible poems, painting the most beautiful and full of sense paintings and bringing both into the most powerful and greatest of all arts-the cinema. May be the film would be better if it's a bit longer, because many of the lines were not well described and that has nothing to do with surreal understanding of the film, Saura just didn't developed all his characters and story lines. But even if that was done, I don't think that the real followers of there three icons would be satisfied because as I said, what they have done, can not be done again and never can be done in better way. So a simple biographical movie about their lives and friendship will be better and even more interesting I think. Let the masters do the masterpieces.
