An Andalusian Dog
Quick Summary
An Andalusian Dog (1929) is a landmark Surrealist film created by Spanish artists Luis Buñuel and Salvador DalĂ. It is considered a significant work in the Surrealist movement, though The Seashell and the Clergyman (1928) is widely regarded as the first Surrealist film. The film is known for its dreamlike, often disturbing imagery and lack of a coherent narrative, reflecting the Surrealist exploration of the subconscious. It predates Buñuel and DalĂ's later collaboration, L'Ăge d'or (1930).12
