Un Chien Andalou as a Reflection of Surrealism

Author Name : Srushti Kamble

Un Chien Andalou, directed by Luis Buñuel and co-written with Salvador Dalí, stands as a defining piece in the Surrealist movement. This research delves into how the film embraces Surrealist ideals, primarily through its unconventional, non-linear narrative that abandons logic and pulls the audience into a dream-like experience. By concentrating on the film's irrational themes and its break from traditional storytelling, the study underscores Un Chien Andalou as a key example of Surrealism's lasting influence on cinema. The research also considers how the film questions artistic norms and its significant impact on later cinematic and artistic practices. Through this examination, Buñuel and Dalí's visionary techniques emerge as a true reflection of Surrealism's core beliefs, still echoing within the broader art world today.
