Un Chien Andalou
Total Running Time: 00:16:00
Director: Luis Bunuel
Language: (silent)
This short is a sixteen minute surrealist film by Luis Bunuel along with artist Salvador Dali. This was an extremely weird film and has no conventional plot. I don’t even believe there is an actual story to this. The film is very disjointed and unsettling and in jumps from once upon a time to eight years later without anything changing. The Characters also never age. the director Luis Bunuel told Dali at a restaurant one day about a dream in which a cloud sliced the moon in half "like a razor blade slicing through an eye". Dali then told him about a dream involving a hand crawling with ants. Watching this film made me think how it pretty much plays like a music video. The film is famous for its eye-cutting scene. In conclusion, this is just an extremely weird piece of art if I must say.
