NO, not those Ashes – there’s nothing for cricket fans here.

Think more arthouse Merchant Ivory meets Brideshead Revisited in Spain, with particular interest for lovers of the arts.

For this is the story of a meeting of artistic minds at a time of emerging modern ideas, when Salvador Dali meets Federico Lorca and Luis Bunuel at university in Madrid in 1922 – and of the (very) close friendship that develops between Dali and Lorca.

Much of the attention this film gets will probably be from Twilight fans anxious to collect any sightings of their hero Robert Pattinson as Dali, although the gay coming-of-age themes may break a few hearts.
