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:  - 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... Rating:  - bad dvd burn for Un Chien AndalouUn Chien Andalou is a work of Art, BUT the dvd that I got from Amazon was not a of a very good quality. I have seen the film in dvd format several times in the past and this dvd version has way too much contrast and digital glitches in two or three occassions. Rating: - Open Doors To The IrrationalWhile visiting in 2005 the Salvador Dali's exhibitions in Philadelphia Museum of Art, I was able to see two films that Dali was a big part of. In the video Gallery of the museum, two intriguing projects had been running together in the continuous loop, the early "Un Chien Andalou" (17 minutes) and the recently released, animated "Destino" (6 minutes). This was the first time I saw both films and I kept coming back to the gallery over and over again. They both are unforgettable. The ... Read More |
