Salvador Dalí and Films

1929 : Un Chien Andalou (An Andalusian Dog) is a silent surrealist short film by the Spanish director Luis Buñuel and artist Salvador Dalí.

The film has no plot in the conventional sense of the word. The chronology of the film is disjointed, jumping from the initial "once upon a time" to "eight years later" without the events or characters changing very much. It uses dream logic in narrative flow that can be described in terms of then-popular Freudian free association, presenting a series of tenuously related scenes.

At the beginning, there's a famous scene of a man played by Buñuel sharpening his razor who sees a narrow cloud approaching the moon. Followed by the razor cutting through an eye. This has come to be regarded as a motif that stands for the optic nerve, and thus the destruction of everyday perception as such.
