Un Chien Andalou


This movie struck me as so much self-indulgent wankery. Rather than try to maximize the possibilities of the art form, UN CHIEN ANDALOU settles for smugly smirking, "Look at me. I'm avant garde." Thanks, but no thanks.

Oh man, I remember watching this movie in my college Film Appreciation class. That scene you screencapped is unforgettable

Oh come on, Its a Dali film. The man made a career out of "self-indulgent wankery".
Still I will one day see it when I am in the mood (of course I have been waiting over 30 years to be in such a mood, so what does that say)
