Film Review – Daaaaaali!

He turned a car tire into a serial killer in 2010’s “Rubber,” tinkered with the absurdities of police procedurals in 2013’s “Wrong Cops,” and blended a study of the human condition with a “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” parody in 2022’s “Smoking Causes Coughing.” Writer/director Quentin Dupieux has always embraced his impish sense of humor, and he’s mostly successful with his wonderful weirdness, crafting dry, hilarious, and mercifully short pictures. In perhaps his greatest creative challenge, Dupieux takes on the surreal, egomaniacal ways of artist Salvador Dali, but “Daaaaaali!” isn’t a bio-pic. It’s more of a celebration of the man’s creative pursuits and childish behavior, with the screenplay toying with Dali iconography and attitude, going for a comedic take on his steamrolling ways. “Daaaaaali!” is great fun and appropriately strange, with Dupieux delivering a dream-layered understanding of artistry and impatience with palpable glee.
