    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?

    True art

    An absolute must for any fan of surrealism. I recommend watching the extra commentary, as it sheds light on what inspired Bunuel and Dali to make this film as they did.
