PHASE9 movie review

Synopsis

UN CHIEN ANDALOU begins with a close-up of a young girl’s eye with a razor slicing slowly across it - a sensational opening which was designed to shock the spectator into a direct, uncensored response to the rest of the film. In the words of Buñuel: ‘Our only rule was very simple: no idea or image that might lend itself to a rational explanation would be accepted.’ Nonetheless, this dreamlike cinepoem on sex, death and decay has prompted countless readings of its mysteries.
