Un Chien Andalou

Un Chien Andalou, done in 1929 was quite interesting. The beginning with the slicing open of the eyeball (donkey's eye) seemed gross but held so much power being something that doesn't come up in film often. The clever use of transistions allowed this silent film to leave a powerful memory. Everything seemed a bit chaotic and unworldly. The ants in the hand, the dead donkey, the boy being killed. It was all random and not put in film before. I dont know what else to say about this film, it was just so random and at times disturbing.
