Le Chien Andalou Luis Bunuel and Salvador Dali 1928

This short film was designed to have no ‘story’ - in fact according to Bunuel, no connection at all between the disparate scenes - which feel strangely homogenous and logically sequential now to us, seen from our media-sophisticated 21st Century perspective, they seem bonded by their flicker, their monochromacity, their resolution, their strangeness: “as beautiful as the chance encounter of a sewing machine and an umbrella on an operating table.” (Comte de Lautréamont, 1899).
