An Andalusian Dog (Un Chien Andalou) (1929)

Un Chien Andalou

“Luis Bunuel, even in his narrative features like Belle de Jour, preferred to view things through a dream-like prism. Think of how much of Belle de Jour’s narrative is occupied within the interior fantasy life and memories of its main character. Numerous things happen with no true “logic” to dictate them, and this is a thread that can be followed back to his first work Un Chien Andalou.

Beginning with the title, An Andalusian Dog in English, nothing much makes literal sense or has a grand meaning. There’s a thin plot which sees two people fight, reconnect, engage in various violent or sexual encounters and then it ends close to where it began.

"January 30 I usually don't add short films to my yearly movie lists, but I decided to make an exception for this one because of how well-known it is. I didn't really get the praise. I understand that back in the day this was really controversial, but it's really nothing to get worked up over now. I also thought that it didn't have a point. When this ended it just left no impression on me. "
