Un Chien Andalou

Fledging director Luis Buñuel and painter Salvador Dali create this ultimate surrealist film, which is essentially a barrage of striking and irrational images designed to shock and provoke. During the course of the film, we witness a close-up of a woman's eye being slashed open with a razor; a man dragging a piano, two bishops, and a pair of rotting asses across a room; ants swarming around a hole in a man's palm; and sundry severed limbs and gratuitous slayings. Though this was originally a silent film, Buñuel later added a recorded score consisting of Liebestod from Wagner's opera Tristan und Isolde and a number of popular tangos of the time.~ Jonathan Crow, All Movie Guide

  Un Chien Andalou
  
  Typical impressionist stuff, with the classic slicing eyeball scene. Seems dated and full of itself these days. Worth watching though, as a historical document... read more »
