An Andalusian Dog

Un Chien Andalou is a 1929 French silent short directed by Luis Buñuel and written with the painter Salvador Dalí. It runs between sixteen and twenty-one minutes depending on the print. There is no continuous story; the film is a succession of unconnected scenes, opening with a shot of an eye being cut and going on to ants emerging from a hole in a hand, a man hauling pianos loaded with dead donkeys, and intertitles that give times contradicting one another. The two writers stated that they discarded any idea that admitted a rational explanation, and that they had built the film from two dreams they described to each other. It premiered in Paris and became the most widely circulated of the surrealist films. Buñuel himself appears in the opening scene.
