Un Chien Andalou

A short movie that refuses everything conversional, it does not fulfill any expectations one would normally have from a film or from life on the whole. The awkward  surprise it creates dislocates people from everyday life.  The lack of logic and absence of emotions in the common sense causes the feeling of missing a 'handrail' to reality. 
 The music perfectly suits to the film, as its melody is fairly tragic, fairly comic, knit together precisely like the scenes in the film.
Un Chien Andalou is probably the most well-known of its unforgettable eye-cut screen, that literally crushes up one's stomach. Instead of having an impact on our emotions, it has an effect straight to the senses.
