Un Chien Andalou

"Un Chien Andalou" is a 1929 surrealist short film directed by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí. It is known for its dreamlike, disjointed narrative and shocking imagery, featuring scenes like an eye being sliced open and bizarre transformations, which challenge traditional storytelling. The film lacks a coherent plot, focusing instead on creating emotional reactions and exploring subconscious thoughts. Its goal is to evoke feelings rather than convey a clear message, reflecting the surrealist movement's aim to explore the irrational aspects of human experience. It remains a landmark in avant-garde cinema, influencing filmmakers and artists for decades.
