Un Chien Andalou (1929, Fr.) (aka
An Andalusian Dog) (short)
In Luis Bunuel's short surrealistic film of unexplained
imagery ("Once upon a time"), created in collaboration
with artist Salvador Dali:
- the shocking and disturbing opening sequence when
a young man - after seeing a cloud sliver horizontally moving across
a full moon - sliced a woman's (Simone Mareuil) wide-opened eye
(in extreme closeup, it was actually a calf's eye) in half with
a sharp-edged straight razor
- the image of ants coming out of a hole in a man's
severed hand
- the dismembered hand lying in the street
- the grabbing of the breasts of a woman through her
clothes (and then of her naked breasts directly when the clothes
disappeared) - and the man's fantasizing that the breasts were her
bare buttocks
- a decomposed and rotting donkey on a grand piano
- the final image of a couple half-buried on a beach
in sand up to their elbows (and probably dead)
