The result of Luis Bunuel's collaboration with Salvador Dali, the 17-minute, 1929 film was designed expressly to shock and provoke. Opening with the canonical eyeball-slashing sequence and divided into baffling "chapters", this is a work of art obsessed with religion, lust, decay, violence, and death. Un Chien Andalou isn't simply one of the great works of the surrealist movement, but a segment of cinematic DNA that irrevocably altered the aesthetics of film. In its tangled corridors you find the seeds to the disappearing-mouth bit in The Matrix, the carcasses strewn through Peter Greenaway's A Zed and Two Noughts and pretty much the entire oeuvre of David Lynch. --Ryan Boudinot Description: Filmed in Paris in 1929, UN CHIEN ANDALOU is regarded as the first film produced purely from within the Surrealist movement and is a landmark in the history of cinema. Loving treatment to DVD includes, as bonus material, an interview/documentary with Jua Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Added features interview makes this interestingChien Andalou is a classic Surrealist video from 1929 put together by Luis Bunuel and Salvator Dali. It is only about 20 minutes long but is quite interesting. I have heard about this film all my life but have finally gotten around to watching it (4 times). It is on streaming video on the Internet but I found the DVD of Chien Andalou very good because Bunuel's son does a long commentary added feature on his father, the film and Dali that was very interesting. He says that Surrealism is the basis ... Read More Rating:  - One for the DogsI have enjoyed a number of films by Bunuel and I had heard that "Un Chien Andalou" was one of his best. I watched it and I apparently am not in the proper mindset to appreciate "art". There were scenes that clearly were experimental and scenes that may intrigue some viewers. However, it is not really a movie; it's an experiment. Serious students of film will, no doubt, be in awe of "Un Chien Andalou". However, it reminds me of the last film I saw with input from Salvador Dali; "Spellbound". ... Read More Rating: - Like a dreamI first saw this in a film class I took at USC during my undergrad. Could not remember the name of it but I finally found it. I love this movie because its as inexplicable as people's dreams. Your (or at least my) dreams are often strewn bits of random images that somehow make sense while you are dreaming, that give an overall feeling of what's happening, but try to explain it in once you wake up and one can find themselves at a loss for words. But Dali knew exactly how to visually ... Read More Rating: - thanksGreat movie and my Spanish classes loved the extras that included interviews with Bunel's son that gave some great insight! Rating: - Sureal Classic.What would be of experimental cinema without this masterpiece. Buñuel and Dali, what to expect from this two minds! I need to agree that the transfer is not very good on the Kino release, the extras are great, not the commentary but the Buñuel's son interview, Juan Luis, which i find very informative to understand what happened to the relation between the two artiist after they work toghether. Watch it all over and over and... |
