Salvador Dali & Luis Bunuel: Un Chien Andalou

Surrealist artist Salvador Dali collaborated with Spanish film making master Luis Bunuel to create Un Chien Andalou, a fantastical nightmare of mostly irrational and fiendishly macabre images. Un Chien Andalou is one of the watershed pieces of early avant-garde cinema. The images found in this short film are horrific and frightening by any standard. Self mutilation and transforming body parts are merely the beginning of the non-linear mashing up of powerful and mind bending scenes. The film would also be a tremendous influence on later avant-garde filmmakers like David Lynch.
