Movie Reviews of Un Chien Andalou
Movie Review: Added features interview makes this interesting
Summary: 5 Stars
Chien 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 of all advertising because of its attempt to show you the everyday in a way that pulls you out of normal consciousness (surreal) and see it as new, thereby jogging your brain and making the image last. He also talks a lot about his dad and Dali and Garcia Lorca as three college friends who went on to fame and how they got along.
Summary of Un Chien Andalou
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 JuaUn Chien Andalou remains a startling artifact suggesting ways in which film can express the subconscious. 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
