Little Ashes is a 2008 Spanish-British drama film set against the backdrop of Spain during the 20s and 30s, as three of the era’s most creative young talents meet at university and set off on a course to change their world.

A fictionalized account of Dali’s early life, “Little Ashes” is a conterubydynasty mporary story about universal themes such as love and relationships, longing, loss and betrayal. The three main characters are important Spanish figures – Salvador Dali, poet Federico Garcia Lorca and filmmaker Luis Bunuel – who met as students at the Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid. Dali, Lorca and Bunuel defied their society’s politics and forged new ground during a time when being an artist was revolutionary – and being a gay or bisexual artist was dangerous. Together, these distinct personalities learn from each other and develop a complex new language about the nature of art. (2008, 112 minutes, directed by Paul Morrison and starring Robert Pattinson)

Rob Reunites With "Little Ashes" Co-Star, Marina Gatell in Barcelona #WFE

Marina Gatell played 'Magdalena' in the Salvador Dali biopic, 'Little Ashes'. Rob played Dali.

"Rob in Little Ashes last scene just full of paint, and that scene shot in a warehouse where there was no bathroom. And of course the end of filming Rob was full of paint, and not like today that Rob has all the facilities and had to leave his hotel full of paint. So of course the poor man could take a taxi because no one wanted to be stained whole car, and had to walk far to get to your hotel and the people he looked down the street. So Marina got along very well with offered her house which was close so he could go to shower there and to remove the paint. This anecdote was told to Rob sometimes a very good memory of her companion."

Incest, Crime, Ghosts, Robert Pattinson: Gay Movies from South America / Spain at image+nation

image+nation 2010 – Montreal's Gay & Lesbian Film Festival: UNDERTOW, LE FIL

"In response to the cinematic watershed of LGBT-themed films from South America and Spain in the past year," explains the image+nation press release, the 2010 edition of Montreal's LGBT film festival will present “Mundo Hispanico.”

Countries represented in "Mundo Hispanico" are Spain, Uruguay, Peru, Argentina, and Brazil — where people speak Portuguese, not Spanish.

But hey, were I a Brazilian filmmaker I'd be happy to have my movie included in any film festival sidebar, be it Mundo Hispanico, Mundo Mongolico, or Mondo Cane. If people showed up to check out my movie, that'd be all I'd care about. (How about "Mundo Ibérico" for next time, which could then include some Portuguese cinematic efforts as well?)

In addition to opening-night film, the supernatural love story Undertow (Peru), "Mundo Hispanico" will feature, among others, Aluízio Abranches’ controversial incest-themed Do Começo ao Fim / From Beginning to End (Brazil), about two hunky brothers in love; Lucía Puenzo's El niño pez / The Fish Child (Argentina), about two lesbian lovers who resort to crime; and Paul Morrison's Little Ashes (Spain), an English-language drama featuring Robert Pattinson as Salvador Dali.

Do you want to know how Rob flirts?? Well if, read this note!

Well, here is the story behind this pic!Just TAKE A DEEP BREATH PLEASE

Tess, the girl on the pic above with Rob, tells HAART meeting with Robert Pattinson: "So I was fairly surprised at the show with the picture of me and Robert Pattinson. So now here is to clarify the story.


I was a few years ago to visit my best friend in Barcelona, who ran training. Then we went to a night club catwalk steps. As I walked to bump Robert Pattinson, who was making the money for the film Little Ashes. Anyway he was not as well known as it is today so I did not recognize him. I stood there to dance and he came to me and asked in a perfect British accent: "I'm not going before I know your name". In a perfect English accent ... it sounded so sexy!

Who can resist? .. We danced and had a nice evening .. yes we kissed!"

Little Ashes” Wins Audience Prize at Italian International Festival of Film Melodrama (Italy)

Tragic biographies and unmet challenges:
Verona’s festival awards prizes to films with unhappy endings.

AUDIENCE PRIZE – THE SCHERMI D’AMORE ROSE

The Schermi d’Amore Rose goes to the film Little Ashes (Great Britain – Spain, 2009) directed by Paul Morrison.

This year it was once again the audience who awarded the prize at the 14th festival dedicated to romantic films and melodrama.

Winner of Schermi d’Amore in 1999 with Solomon and Gaenor, which had its world première in Verona, Paul Morrison’s was among the five foreign films nominated for Oscars the following year. Now the refined British director has once again been recognized for his talent with a biopic which takes him from Wales in the 1910s (the setting for Solomon and Gaenor) to the Spain of the 1920s, for a tragic love story. The tormented relationship between Federico García Lorca (1899-1936) and Salvador Dalí (1904-1989), which the painter – after the Andalusian dramatist’s execution by Franco’s supporters – kept secret until the final years of his life. The Surrealist genius – played by Robert Pattinson before starring in Twilight – is portrayed during his university years, torn between his attraction for the author of Sonnets of Dark Love and his desire for fame and fortune, which would take him to Paris with the director Luis Buñuel (1900-1983), the third legendary Spanish figure with whom he would create the famous short, Un chien andalou (1929).

Robert Pattinson: More Mature-Looking in Bel Ami?

by Joan Lister

I haven’t read either Guy de Maupassant’s 19th-century novel Bel Ami or Rachel Bennette’s screenplay adaptation, so I don’t know exactly how old Robert Pattinson’s Georges Duroy, social/sexual climber extraordinaire, is supposed to be.

But looking at videos and photos of Pattinson in costume as Duroy, the soon-to-be-24-year-old actor surely looks quite a bit older in Bel Ami than in his other film roles (see above).


That’s not a disparaging remark. I much prefer Pattinson looking mature than looking like a "boy." One of the reasons I — and at least some others, I’m sure — enjoy his interviews is that Pattinson comes across as much more mature than your average (or even above-average) 23-24-year-old. (Admittedly, Pattinson has never looked like a "boy" to me, though I still haven’t seen any of his pre-2008 efforts.)

Anyways, I have high hopes for Bel Ami, chiefly because Pattinson and other real good actors are in it: Kristin Scott Thomas, Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci, and Colm Meaney.

Screenwriter Rachel Bennette and directors Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod are basically all film newcomers in their respective capacities, though Donnellan and Ormerod have both done extensive and quite prestigious stage work. Among the plays they have staged are works by Shakespeare, Chekhov, Pushkin, and Tennessee Williams.

Who knows, perhaps Donnellan’s and Ormerod’s film debut will be as warmly received as those of fellow stage directors Nicholas Hytner (The Madness of King George) and Rob Marshall (Chicago). If so, that should translate into solid box-office receipts as well.

As an aside, in Albert Lewin’s 1947 film The Private Affairs of Bel Ami, Duroy is played by future Oscar winner George Sanders, who was 40-41 at the time. I’m assuming that was (at least) a little older than de Maupassant’s character was supposed to be. The novel is in my to-read list.

Robert Pattinson will next be seen in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, which opens on June 30.

'Twilight's' Robert Pattinson talks about being 'straight' and his gay sex scene in 'Little Ashes'

He won't come clean about dating Kristen Stewart, but Robert Pattinson will admit to being "straight."

The British star, who reportedly popped a Valium before auditioning for "Twilight" with Stewart, tells London's Times that he was not entirely comfortable with his gay sex scenes in "Little Ashes."

In the art house film, Pattinson plays Spanish artist Salvador Dali, who embarks on a sexual relationship with writer Frederico Garcia Lorca (played by Javier Beltrán).

"We were both straight, but he was Spanish, so much more confident about being naked and stuff," Pattinson told the Times of his co-star.

He admits that love scenes can be just as "awkward" with a girl. For his on-screen romance with Emilie de Ravin in "Remember Me," for example, it was a closed set.

Yet despite all the precautions Pattinson took for the film - including "a little patch on your privates" - his sex scenes didn't go quite as smoothly as he had hoped.

"I’d spent so long taping [the patch] round myself and then literally it falls off within one second and it’s taped to the sheet," Pattinson tells the British newspaper. "You realize the whole crew are looking directly at your b--- crack."

Who’s the Bigger Box Office Draw: Rob or Kristen?

For all the money the Twilight franchise is making, how much of it actually has to do with Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson? This March, exactly one week apart, both Stewart and Pattinson will be releasing a pair of movies that are arguably the biggest since they’ve been wrapped up in all things Twilight. Prior to this, Stewart watched Adventureland gross a measly $16 million, while Pattinson’s Little Ashes didn’t even cross the $500,000 mark.

But that was back in 2008, and one would think the heat on these two has grown since then — especially with the release of a second Twilight film, New Moon, which went on to break records in 2009. Now the two actors are back for another round of solo efforts, with Pattinson debuting Remember Me on March 12th and Stewart rockin’ out in The Runaways on March 19th (I’m not counting The Yellow Handkerchief because it’s way too small to do any sort of damage). To be fair, Remember Me comes from Summit Entertainment and, as such, is fortunate enough to be carrying the first trailer for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. The Runaways, meanwhile, has a handful of mediocre Sundance reviews and a much talked-about make-out scene between Stewart and Dakota Fanning. As far as gimmicks go, I’m scoring this one as Pattinson: 1 Stewart: 0.

Even with all that, I still can’t see these two films making a ton of money (Remember Me has the better shot, in my opinion). And if they don’t, should we begin to re-evaluate just how popular K-Stew and R-Patz are? If neither of these two can step away from Twilight and help a movie earn at the box office, then what’s the point? Why the obsession? How can they be superstars and not be superstars at the same time? It just doesn’t make sense.

Currently, as of 8:12pm PST, the results are…

Robert Pattinson: 376 (70.7%)

Kristen Stewart:156 (29.3%)
