Reviews

Un Chien Andalou consists of seventeen minutes of bizarre and surreal images that may or may not mean anything. A straight razor seems to be placed by a woman's eye, a small cloud formation obscures the moon, a cow's eye is slit open, a woman pokes at a severed hand in the street with his cane, a man drags two grand pianos containing dead and rotting donkeys and live priests, and a man's hand has a hole in the palm from which ants emerge.

5.0 out of 5 stars work it out for yourself 7 July 2004
By "sarahw86"
Format:VHS Tape
It is unecessary to attempt to understand what this film is about, i also think that it isnt completely necessary to use it as entertainment. Films made during the surrealist movement should be regarded as works of art and UN CHIEN ANDALOU is a work of pure unique genius on Bunuels part. Surrealism often represents the dream world and dreams very rarely make any sense or have any sort of linear narrative in real life. What they often do have is semiology. Many of the symbols in this film could be to do with sexual tension, such as the ants crawling out of the hand and the spacial discontinuity represents the dreamworld, ever had a dream when you are in a room which doesnt look anything like the room you are meant to be in but you know somehow that it just is? These ideas are all interpreted in this film.
It is my feeling that some of the best art ever made is that which was made during the surrealist movement as it allows you to interpret your own readings. UN CHIEN ANDALOU is a classic example of this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent achievement! 16 Dec 2000
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
One of the keynote products of the surrealist movement, made back in the days before Dali became an apologist for fascism and the Catholic Church. Oh how the mighty fell... Bunuel of course went on to make many more great movies. You have to see this film at least once - even if you don't like it, you'll never forget it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bunual's surrealist collaboration with Salvador Dali 27 Oct 2011
By Badger O Stripey One
Format:DVD
I haven't seen this, the 5* is from the Radio Times Film guide which also rates it as a Landmark Film.

Just thought you might like to know the run time is less than 20 minutes. Which means unless someone lends me a copy I don't suppose I'll ever get round to watching it.

Unless it turns up used at 1p +£1.26 in which case I just might buy it.

I'm not holding my breath.
