Robert Pattinson in “Little Ashes”

Three rebels willing to take on the world. Two lovers risking it all. One story, untold until now.

One of the most exciting movies to come along is “Little Ashes.” Not only from what I have seen of the trailers — it deals with art, love, war, but also gay and Altering bisexuality content.

The movie takes place in Madrid 1922. A city wavering on the edge of change as traditional values are challenged by the dangerous new influences of jazz, Freud and the avant-garde. Salvador Dalí (Robert Pattinson from Harry Potter and Twilight) arrives at university at the age of 18, determined to become a great artist. His bizarre blend of shyness and rampant exhibitionism attracts the attention of two of the university’s social elite — Federico García Lorca (Javier Beltrán) and Luis Buñuel (Matthew McNulty).

In the midst of the repression and political unrest of pre-Spanish Civil War, eccentric artist Salvador Dalí (Robert Pattinson from Harry Potter and Twilight) and renowned poet and revolutionary Federico García Lorca (Javier Beltrán) find their artistic and sexual freedom. The two form a bond challenged by their fierce ambitions, their friends, the struggle between a love for Spain and a love for each other.

In 1922, Madrid is wavering on the edge of change as traditional values are challenged by the dangerous new influences of jazz, Freud and the avant-garde. Salvador Dalí arrives at university at the age of 18, determined to become a great artist. His bizarre blend of shyness and rampant exhibitionism attracts the attention of two of the university’s social elite — Federico García Lorca and Luis Buñuel (Matthew McNulty).  Salvador is absorbed into their decadent group and for a time Salvador, Luis and Federico become a formidable trio, the most ultra-modern group in Madrid. However, as time passes, Salvador feels an increasingly strong pull toward the charismatic Federico — who is oblivious to the attention he is getting from his beautiful writer friend, Magdalena (Marina Gatell).  Finally, in the face of his friends’ preoccupations — and Federico’s growing renown as a poet — Luis sets off for Paris in search of his own artistic success.  Federico and Salvador spend the holiday in the seaside town of Cadaqués. Both the idyllic surroundings and the warmth of the Dalí family sweep Federico off his feet. Salvador and he draw closer, sharing their deepest beliefs, inspirations and secrets, convinced that they have found a kind of friendship undreamt of by others. It is more than a meeting of the minds; it is a fusion of souls.

The movie is set to release in May of 2009. Men, ladies — get ready for an exciting exotic ride to Madrid, Spain. I for one will be front and center reviewing the movie for Bi Social News to find out if the bisexual community has a part of this production. I’ll keep you posted!

Rated R for sexual content, language and a brief disturbing image.
