Un Chien Andalou:
Featuring a live Score by Tinnitus Rex!
A barrage of striking and irrational images, designed to provoke, are presented in a disjointed chronology, jumping from the initial “once upon a time” to “eight years later” without the events or characters changing, evoking a dream logic as its narrative flow.
Luis Buñuel’s legendary first film, Un Chien Andalou written with Salvador Dalí, created a scandal at its premiere and its startling eye-slicing opening sequence has continued to shock viewers ever since. Despite Buñuel and Dalí’s energetic rejections of any rational meaning in the film, Un Chien Andalou is an exploration of desire and the obstacles in the path of instinctual passion, equally indebted to Surrealism and Freud and represents the first film in what is now considered the golden age of the avant-garde.
1929, France, 16 minutes, Directed by Luis Buñuel

“Un Chien Andalou” is a curtain-raiser: In a way, he was never unfaithful to it. A movie like this is a tonic. It assaults old and unconscious habits of moviegoing. It is disturbing, frustrating, maddening. It seems without purpose (and yet how much purpose, really, is there in seeing most of the movies we attend?).”
– Roger Ebert -
“Luis Buñuel began his movie career with the most notorious opening sequence in movie history.”
– J. Hoberman, VILLAGE VOICE -
“Decades later, Bunuel's first feature still is the seminal surrealist film, a powerful assemblage of shocking images aimed to provoke and irritate.”
– Emanuel Levy, EMANUELLEVY.COM -
“Buñuel movie has a heady, haunting effect, like an exquisitely enjoyed meal, the weather of a foreign country, something private and inexpressible.”
– Manny Farber, ARTFORUM
