Luis Bunuel (with a squiggly line above the n) and Salvador Dali's super trippy 15 minute silent film, Un Chien Andalou, came out in 1929 shocking artists alike in Paris. It has no plot, as one would expect from an avant-garde surrealist film, and as such follows a dream-like sequence of moments and experiences. Irrationality and free association pays homage to Frued. We watch the film with no expectations, only with a conceptual mind and an awareness of our frustrations with incoherence. What is beautiful is not found in your relations to the films but instead your perceptions of the artificial associations we make with an already irrational world.To quote Breton, "existence lies elsewhere."
