    An eye-opener in more senses than one, this surrealist masterpiece — co-written by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dali — still has the power to shock. Starting with an open razor (wielded by Buñuel) slicing a girl's eyeball, this short film goes on to clash lyrical images with violent ideas to show how love is held back by tradition. Sigmund Freud professed to enjoy it; the Fascists in Paris demonstrated against it. Not as meaningless as it seems, and as anti-clerical as Buñuel was to become in all his later films, it still has enormous intensity.

    Doh

    Beats me.

    That's all I was going to say, but I was told this review was too short to be accepted. Well, my answer is that the film is too short to count as a film. I could extend this review to an analysis of surrealism and experimental art in the early 2oth century but then I could be accused of pretentious twaddle. Is this long enough?

    admirable cinema or clever hoax ?

    This is a must see for cinephiles and has to be admired for its being so ahead of its time and the debt owed to it by LIndsay Anderson, David Lynch et al. The extras try to provide some expertise to the very short film and this is when you hit pseuds corner and starts to diminsh the film and you wonder if it was only a clever little game being played by 2 artists wanting to attract attention. The decision is yours.
