Un Chien Andalou 1929 (Luis Bunuel)
Stars: Simone Mareuli, Pierre Batcheff
Score:86%
Gruesome. Abstract. Different. This short film is a clear example of the early surrealist film movement and the film that jumpstarted Luis Bunuels' career.
As you can see in the image, there is some graphic content that is designed to shock the audience. One feature of this film is to use juxtaposing music. For example, where the young woman's eye is slit there is joyful upbeat music (an Argentinian Tango). This simultaneously makes the audience feel excited about the violence and repulsed by their own excitement as well as the scene itself.
