What's good about this movie are the vistas that were beautifully shot. Looking past the bad direction, writing and delivery of lines, I thought the actors were passable except for the guy who played Dali. I was only peripherally aware of Robert Pattinson's existence because of his "Twilight" movie fame, but I totally forgot he was in "Little Ashes" when I began watching it. I kept saying to myself this guy playing Dali was fresh from a high school theatre elective and was badly miscast. The other reviewer did the right thing by hitting "Eject" after 20 minutes of this DVD.
