GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
kiekeo Good, entertaining, but what the hell happened? So there was a couple but then one of them died and their ghost haunts the girl? And then the girl moves out to get man who torments the ghost back?? But the ghost kills him and his body is dumped in a random field where he barely grasps a memory of the girl??? But then it was all just a dream and the couple is actually living happily on the beach???? but then they're dead?????
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.-
framptonhollis In the late 1920's, surrealists Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel collaborated on this fabulously bizarre short film.Following what barely represents a narrative, "Un chien anadolou" feels like a dream or, rather, a nightmare, for it manages to be quite terrifying in places. It's definitely daring for its day , featuring memorably horrifying images such as ants crawling from a man's hand, two dead donkeys lying on two moving pianos, and, what is perhaps the most well known of all, the infamous eye splitting sequence. This was certainly some pretty racy stuff back in its day, and today that eyeball splitting still manages to disturb and make most people cringe and wonder how they managed to get that shot.The editing is very well done, and the whole film manages to be very artistic. As I said, it is like some sort of filmed nightmare, comparable to "Eraserhead", in which nothing really makes sense most of the time and each shot gets more and more strange and unsettling. There's also a lot of really interesting special effects and camera tricks used throughout the film, making it a visual masterpiece for the time.I, personally, am not really pretentious and into all sorts of modern art that is really just dumb but tries to come across as genius because reason. Trust me, I'm not the type of guy that stares at a painting that's just a single color yellow and tries to interpret the meaning because it's "really deep and against the system, man!", but surrealism is a form of art that I can really get into. A lot of the time, surrealism doesn't need to make sense, it just is, and that's the beauty of it. It's all really weird and out there, just like this film."Un chien andalou" isn't logical or jam packed with meaning, it just simply is, and what it is is great.
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.
