Un Chien Andalou

Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí's iconic 1929 short film is a landmark of surrealist cinema. It abandons traditional narrative for a succession of deliberately irrational, often disturbing images. The film is famous for its shocking opening scene of an eye being sliced, among other bizarre visuals like ants emerging from a hand and dead donkeys on pianos. It is an avant garde exploration of the subconscious, designed to provoke and challenge the viewer.
