Un Chien Andalou - An Andalusian Dog is a 1928 -1929 short surrealist film produced in France by two Spanish auteurs: the Aragonian director Luis Buñuel and the Catalonian artist Salvador Dalí -
Warning: some grotesque footage. Here is the film I refer to in the post below...Film - This is Unedited and Spilled Out. This classic Surrealist film is 15:34 minutes.
"Un Chien Andalou remains a startling artifact suggesting ways in which film can express the subconscious. The result of Luis Bunuel's collaboration with Salvador Dali, the 17-minute, 1929 film was designed expressly to shock and provoke. Opening with the canonical eyeball-slashing sequence and divided into baffling 'chapters', this is a work of art obsessed with religion, lust, decay, violence, and death. Un Chien Andalou isn't simply one of the great works of the surrealist movement, but a segment of cinematic DNA that irrevocably altered the aesthetics of film." -amazon.com (Ryan Boudinot)
