Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

BA_Harrison Un Chien Andalou is 16 minutes of surreal silent film that makes less sense than painting my knackers green and setting them on fire while singing the national anthem. Director Louis Buñuel, collaborating with artist Salvador Dalí, delivers a series of perplexing images, some of which are extremely disturbing (the slicing of a woman's eye with a straight razor), some of which are daring (the fondling of a naked pair of breasts and a bare ass), and many of which are downright bizarre (a man pulling two pianos weighed down by dead donkeys and a pair of priests!?!).Other memorable imagery includes ants crawling out of a hole in the palm of a man's hand, an androgynous woman poking a severed hand with a stick, and a guy losing his mouth only to have it replaced by the pubic hair from a lady's armpit. Almost impossible to rate since I had no idea what any of it meant, hence my non-committal score of 5/10.

Irishchatter Since I'm going through the list of the 25 Dangerous films that Premiere magazine has voted on, I decided to give this movie a go and see how dangerous it is. By god at the beginning, I was absolutely grossed out by the man cutting off the woman's eye and I really felt sick looking at it since I thought it was a real human eye. Thankfully, after watching the movie and looking through its trivia through here, I found out that it was just a cows eye. Even though poor cow at the same time, I hope it didn't die just for this short film!It was too bad that I don't understand fluent french and that there was no film online that could support English subtitles, I would've liked to have known what the story was about really. Although at least I know what sorta was going on with the characters, especially since the short film really looked like a Charlie Chaplin movie but in a thriller version. Seriously, it was just funny even if it looked bad! Although I didn't like the scene where the man was trying to rape the woman, it made me feel really cringy. Its hard to believe those times accepted that kind of messing about and I can say, thank Christ its not acceptable in today's society!Good short film, I give it 8/10 for its oddness..

Edwin Ruiz Un Chien Andalou is a French silent film created on June 6th 1929, It is directed and produced by Luis Buñuel and is written by Salvador Dali. The cast consisted of Simore Marevil and Pierre Batchef., acting as themselves in the movie. The films outstanding cinematography is filmed by Albert Duverger and Jimmy Berliet. Music was later added too the silent also composed by Richard Wagner then selected by director Luis Buñuel in 1960. This film is known an "surealist film" although not a horror film, this short film is most certainly a huge influence on many horror classics with its nightmarish imagery., For instance the infamous razor-eye moment that is very surreal for its time in movie cinema in the late 1920's. Or the scene that includes the hand having flies coming out of it, which is a very broad and strange moment in this short film. Un Chien Andalou is known in time too give a person a sense of uncertainty and unanticipated feel through out the films entirety. The camera work and shots still hold up beautifully by Mr. DuVerger and Berliet, many iconic shots in this movie. But most importantly it proves how creativity,uniqueness and a sense of vision can have a greater impact on a film than any amount of money or following popular trends could ever achieve because Un chien Andalou is still considered a silent film marvel and remains a classic in time.-

mgruebel Buñuel's and Dali's opus, when both were strapping young guys in Hemingway's Paris, is film pure. Even more so than 2001, a film that I rate even one notch higher.There is no story here. There are no morals. There is no deep psychology, although the Freudian crowd has of course provided pitiful interpretations for the imagery. It is just imagery. The Freudians are just like hapless children taking a Rorschach test and trying to assign meaning to random ink blots. It is well-known that the two surrealists basically just one-upped each other with their weirdest dreams, and then tried to put on the screen what the special effects and micro-budget of the day allowed. In fact, "Un Chien Andalou" is one of the grand-daddys of independent film. No studio would have touched this thing with a pole. Fatty Arbuckle jumping on actresses and literally exploding them under his weight was poppycocks by comparison.I know that when a film really impresses me, it gets me to do something difficult. After "Chien," I had to sit down and write out some of my weirdest dreams as a stream-of-consciousness short story. About 20 pages of intense writing. My brother and his wife tell me it's pretty far out - but it's not as far out as this film.For some reason, whenever I see this film, I have to think of Brian O'Nolan's "The Third Policeman," a book that starts out harmless enough but then falls into a rabbit hole so deep that it all seems like self-iterative dream."Chien" is simply surreal. If you like Dali's melting clocks and elephants on sky-high stilt legs, or Hieronymus Bosch's medieval monstrosities, you'll like this film. And if not, let razor-blue sky of the blond-eyed and blue-haired take you to the beetle crevice with the whispering headlights that roll up and down in that labyrinth of crackling plaster walls, all rounded, too soft and too steep to climb up from, so you are trapped.
