What Boys Want

The Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival will close its 11th year of programming tonight with the South Florida premiere of Little Ashes, a drama starring Twilight’s pin-up boy, Robert Pattinson as Salvador Dalí, and the festival will give the boys exactly what they want: Pattinson at his most provocative yet.

The drama, set against the backdrop of fascist Spain, follows three of the era’s most creative young talents and their relationships with another.

There’s Dalí, the poet Federico García Lorca (Javier Beltran), and the filmmaker Luis Buñuel (Matthew McNulty), who watches helplessly as the friendship between the surrealist and Lorca develops into an unusual love affair.

Little Ashes opens wide on May 8.
