Un Chien Andalou (1929)


Directed by Luis Buñuel & Salvador Dalí
with: Simone Mareuil, Pierre Batchef, Luis Buñuel, Salvador Dalí

If there is a short film I can recommend to the world, it is Un Chien Andalou. Fifteen minutes of surrealism at its purest form. The movie lacks plot and rationale and that is what makes it so perfect. It has got to be the most innovative and daring movie of all times. It is a collection of revolutionized ideas and imagery put together by two of the most creative and imaginative art figures of the world, Buñuel and Dali. From nudity to explicit violence, to an eye being slit by a razor and ants coming out of someone's hand, every second of this movie is indispensable to create the (life-changing) experience that will illuminate your eyes. 

Must see. 
Rating: 10/10
