A bit thin, but delightful, meeting the Paris of the 20's and those artists...Adrien Brodie as Dali is Oscar stuff..Hemingway speaking as Hemingway prose...The actors unknown who inhabit the artists make you think that...Except for Kathy Bates -- too familiar to pass...Ms Cotillard like Venus among the stars...Ms Bruni and Lea Seydoux...Too beautiful.. I wasn't ,all through with the master, so I just read the review...I'm now sorry I did...To be surprised by the whole business...Curse the film critics for spilling so much...
