Dal\u00ed&#8217;s narration covers such diverse subject matter as Raymond Roussel, giant hallucinogenic mushrooms, Outer Mongolia and Adolf Hitler. The film turned up at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ubu.com\/film\/dali_impressions.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ubuweb<\/a> a few years ago but without English subtitles. (A document with an English translation was added later.) Now YouTube user DrewBadly has added the English translation to a copy of the film he&#8217;s posted on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PL0233832F533E43E0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">his YT channel<\/a>.
