Un Chien Andalou (1929)

Dali established his position as a groundbreaking Surrealist with this 16 minute black and white film made with his friend Luis Bunuel. Un Chien Andalou is arguably the first (and best) Surrealist film.

It has no logical narrative. Instead, it presents a series of disturbing images which tap into our innermost fears. In many ways it can be seen as a forerunner to the strange, dream-like cinematic style of many of today's leading filmmakers such as David Lynch or the Coen brothers. This film earned Dali respect, renown and a place at the Surrealist top table.
