Un Chien Andalou
Violence, violence and more violence. Cool techniques used for the time, it doesn’t have a deeper meaning though, which is confirmed by the directors comments. It’s good for 1929 but doesn’t hold up today.
Un Chien Andalou
Esto si es otra cosa, lo ví hace unos años por una tesis de nuestra elección, elegí cine y esta es una de las cosas que me puse a ver y es una cosa increíble, hazaña para su época y muy presente a escala actual

Un Chien Andalou
This odd piece of cinema's ultimate goal is to shock. And it does exactly that. This piece shocks the viewer, putting them into a surreal world. This film feels as if it were a dream, thus creating the surreal feel. It's astonishing how they were able to make this interesting film, as it was released in 1929! It's amazing how a piece as old as this still has the ability to shock.

me and who
Un Chien Andalou
Luis Buñuel y Salvador Dalí nos entregan un cortometraje abstracto que se siente como una sucesión de sueños encadenados de manera irreverente y provocadora. Un Chien Andalou no sigue una narrativa convencional ni pretende contar una historia en el sentido tradicional, sino que funciona más como una experiencia sensorial y simbólica. Más que una obra para entender, es una pieza para sentir, una exploración del subconsciente que desafía la lógica y rompe con cualquier expectativa narrativa, consolidándose como un referente del cine surrealista.

Un Chien Andalou
As a big fan of surrealism, it was only a matter of time before I watched Un Chien Andalou, and the time has finally come. To be honest, I don't have enough words to describe what I watched, which is the greatest symbol of any work of surrealism. It's not so much about what it means or the messages hidden behind images resembling feverish dreams; it's about the experience of consuming something of this genre. Still, as much as I know about the genre and have seen a good number of films with this identity, I admit there is something unique about this one. Generally, the first works of a new artistic style tend to be widely replicated to the point that, when you watch them, you recognize elements which have become clichés. Here, that doesn't happen, showing the power of surrealism at its core. If I stretch myself far enough, I can touch on themes such as abusive relationships, sexual abuse, and sexual repression, but is that it? I couldn't say. The film's visuals are striking, especially when we remember how it was made in 1929, demonstrating how progressive it was for its time. The montage, the editing, and the choice of certain shocking images. It's interesting to see how Buñuel made this film and, years later, other titles such as Belle de Jour. I admit, however, discovering certain things about Salvador Dalí's life made me dislike it a little, especially when I correlate the themes of sexual abuse and repression with some aspects of his personal life. I still haven't learned to separate the author's work from the author himself. Anyway, I was still happy to see the beginning of a genre I personally love.
