Un Chien Andalou

Un Chien Andalou




Un Chien Andalou is a surrealist short film made in France by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dali. It is one of the most well known surrealist films. The film is non linear, and with no plot, although it has some titles which make no sense. Its visual aspects can be described as controversial and groundbreaking for its time. The film is at times potentially offensive, with scenes that attempt to shock the viewer. It also features surprising camera angles and other film tricks. I really didn’t have interest in the film due to its lack of plot, but I found that some of the images and scenes were interesting. To me, the best part of the film was when the straight razor sliced through the eye. If you enjoy watching disturbing films, then this is a must see.
