UN CHIEN ANDALOU (1929) is the first classic of underground cinema, a ferocious assault of mutilation, madness and multiple manias set in the fractured framework of a nightmare. Ants, rotting donkeys, severed hands, and ocular destruction are just some of the film’s provocative motifs, drawn from the world of Surrealism. This special ebook study of UN CHIEN ANDALOU provides an in-depth analysis and history of this seminal Surrealist film, accompanied by the original film scenario by Buñuel and DalÃ, and a gallery of photographic illustrations.
