Orson Welles narrates this portrait of Salvador Dali, built from footage of the painter mugging for cameras, staging stunts, and holding forth on his own genius. The film treats Dali's exhibitionism as the subject rather than an obstacle to it, cutting between his canvases and scenes of him performing for journalists who came looking for straight answers and left with theater instead. Welles's narration carries a dry, skeptical edge, framing Dali as a man who turned every interview into another surrealist work, complete with props, declarations, and deliberate contradictions. The camera catches him painting, posing with his signature moustache and cane, and staging small absurdist scenes that blur the line between documentary footage and performance art. Rather than explaining Dali's technique or biography in a conventional sense, the film lets his public persona speak for itself, showing how thoroughly he merged art and spectacle until the two became indistinguishable. It runs short and stays light on its feet, matching its subject's own refusal to sit still.
