Un Chien Andalou (1928)

Star Rating: 2
Length of Film: 16 minutes
Director: Luis Bunuel
Cast: Pierre Batcheff, Simone Mareuil, Luis Banuel, & Salvador Dali











This is a surrealist film, known for striking visual artworks. This film is short, and oh so complicated. After watching it on Netflix live streaming, I sat wondering, what the hell I just watched. Netflix pretty much summed it up in the best way.

"Artist Salvador Dali and novice (at the time) director Luis Buñuel came together to craft this unique film consisting of a jarring collage of absurd and deplorable images aimed at raising more than a few eyebrows. Images include a razor slicing a woman's eye, a man hauling a giant piano, ants circling a hole in a man's hand and more, including assorted detached body parts and futile murders. Originally a silent film, a score was later added."
