Ein Rasiermesser durchschneidet das Auge eines jungen Mädchens. Aus einer Hand quillen Ameisen. Und zwischen Bildern wie aus verstörenden Träumen entfaltet sich das Thema von zwei Liebenden, deren Verlangen unbefriedigt bleibt. Mit Ein Andalusischer Hund (1929) und Das Goldene Zeitalter (1930) schockten zwei junge Spanier das bürgerliche Kunstpublikum, und begründeten ihre Karrieren als Künstler und Filmemacher: Luis Buñuel und Salvador Dalí. Kaum ein Tabu, das die Filme nicht verletzten: Kirche und Religion, bürgerliche Doppelmoral und Sexualität... (Verleiher-Text)

Watching Un Chien Andalou is like looking at a famous exhibit in a dusty museum collection, signed by two equally famous masters. For a movie fan, it is a duty to know them, for a snob to admire them, and for an egoist to claim to have understood them. Surrealism, for me, means Jan Švankmajer, Terry Gilliam, or indeed Luis Buñuel in his later films, such as The Exterminating Angel. Un Chien Andalou is an experiment that stood somewhere at the beginning and now has the value of just that dusty museum exhibit, which cannot emotionally engage me, and only the split eye sticks in my memory. I would say it is an experimental film for a small minority of intellectuals. Given the number of reviewers, it seems to be quite widespread. Overall impression: 45%.

I can stomach almost all exotic and extinct genre varieties of cinema, but fuck this one. Surrealism should have stayed in painting and, at most, in literature, which nobody reads nowadays anyway, but not in film, where it has absolutely nothing to say except a bunch of question marks. I came and saw a film that can’t be understood... so I didn't really lose.

Zwölf Jahre später sah ich Buñuels ikonischen surrealistischen Film erneut, und meine Gefühle gegenüber den dargestellten Szenen blieben unangenehm. Der andalusische Hund ist einerseits morbide und pervers, andererseits - vielleicht ungewollt - recht humorvoll. Der aufgeschnittene Augapfel, die auf dem Klavier aufgezogenen Tierkadaver, die allgegenwärtige Lust und dieses "stigmatische Kribbeln" - als ob der Betrachter eine Art kranken Traum sieht, der ihn erschreckt (und vielleicht sogar unbewusst fasziniert).

I like the idea of how people went to the cinema for this and were immediately greeted by a slashed eye in the first scene. It must have been unreal at that time. It is still a powerful experience even today. I don't find the film "Andalusian Dog" to be that incomprehensible, rather I feel that it is a kind of associative surrealism, where what is in the mind appears in reality, and thus it loses its meaning. That is what makes it beautiful. The scene with the woman who refuses to succumb to the man's desire is a beautiful testament to that. An incredibly daring film for its time, and I am glad it didn't end up forgotten or lost somewhere.
