Salvador Dalí's kinky eccentric wife

Ben Kingsley and Barbara Sukowa in "Dalíland" (Rekha Garton and Marcel Zyskind)

In "Dalíland," Gala (Barbara Sukowa), the wife of the famous surrealist, Salvador Dalí (Ben Kingsley), claims that people, "Look through me, like I'm not there," and the artist himself describes her as "the secret within my secret." She is vain and concerned about both aging and money. She fights with Dalí to inspire and encourage him to make art, but they also come to blows regarding her much younger lover, Jeff (Zachary Nachbar-Seckel), whose dubious music career she is privately financing. 

"They didn't have what I call a normal sexual relationship."
