Salvador Dalí, A Soft Self Portrait, Autoportrait Mou (1966)
Directed by JeanChristophe Averty and narrated by Orson Welles, this psychedelic documentary was shot on location at Dalís home in Portlligat (Spain). It features such surreal scenes as Dalí ecstatically playing a piano filled with cats a reconstruction of a cat organ in which a line of cats is fixed in place with their tails stretched out underneath a keyboard so that the cats cry out in pain when a key is pressed. A Soft SelfPortrait has to be the awesomest documentary made on the Maestro s and possibly the best documentary
