Un Chien Andalou

Un Chien Andalou Synopsis

UN CHIEN ANDALOU consists of sixteen minutes of bizarre and surreal images that may or may not mean anything. In a dream-like sequence, a woman's eye is slit open, juxtaposed with a cloud obscuring the moon, a woman pokes at a severed hand in the street with his cane, a man drags two grand pianos containing dead and rotting donkeys and live priests, and the French phrase "ants in the palms" (which means that someone is "itching" to kill), is shown literally. A shot of differently striped objects is repeatedly used to connect scenes.
