Un Chien Andalou
Un chien andalou
Luis Buñuel and Salvador DaliFrance192917 min
One of the seminal (and most notorious) films of the avant-garde and the most fully-realised Surrealist film. Buñuel and Dali collaborated on the script, which was intended as automatic expression. The dream-like quality of the film’s logic and the striking originality of the images combine to create a series of memorable visual metaphors, the most celebrated being the razor slicing across an exposed cornea. In the UK, the film was banned from public exhibition until 1968 when it received an ‘X’ certificate.
