Ultra Jazz

What is Robert Pattinson playing in the movie, “Little Ashes”?

In the brackets i will copy and paste what is from the site “IMDb.com”.

[In 1922, Madrid is wavering on the edge of change as traditional values are challenged by the dangerous new influences of Jazz, Freud and the avant-garde. Salvador Dali arrives at the university; 18 years old and determined to become a great artist. His bizarre blend of shyness and rampant exhibitionism attracts the attention of two of the university's social elite - Federico Garcia Lorca and Luis Bunel. Salvador is absorbed into their decadent group and for a time Salvador, Luis and Federico become a formidable trio, the most ultra-modern group in Madrid. However as time passes, Salvador feels and increasingly strong pull towards the charismatic Federico - who is himself oblivious of the attentions he is getting from his beautiful writer friends, Margarita.]

-I am very confused. Does he play a gay man? From what i hear thats what it sounds like. Does anyone think this aswell?

Yes, according to this article;

If you search under Salvador Dali and gay, a lot of sites come up mentioning the film. Some of the facts of Dali’s life are disputed, btw. He was married to a Russian woman but there have been rumors about his relationship with Lorca. They were close friends; some people say there was more to it.
