Court is in session

Put Dalíland on trial.

Two incompatible taste archetypes. One film. Read the arguments, then issue a completely binding cultural ruling.

The defence The Prestige Tourist

“Ambition earns the room.”

The film reaches for consequence and scale, accepting the risk of seriousness instead of shrinking from it.

The prosecution The Adrenaline Seeker

“Importance has entered the chat.”

The production keeps announcing its significance, as though awards-season posture were proof of insight.
