Un Chien Andalou

Un Chien Andalou (1929) — watch online the seventeen-minute film that Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí built from two unrelated dreams and then deliberately refused to explain. Shot in Paris, it arrived as a direct assault on narrative logic — and it worked. On iFILM you can stream this landmark of avant-garde cinema in full.

A razor slices an eye. Dead donkeys decay inside grand pianos. A hand with a hole in it crawls with ants. A man drags two priests across a room. None of it connects by cause and effect — that disconnection is the entire point. Buñuel and Dalí wrote a rule for themselves: reject every image that could be explained rationally. Whatever made sense got cut.

Screened at Studio des Ursulines in Paris the year it was made, the film became the defining proof that cinema could work the way dreams do — not through plot but through the weight of an image landing before the brain can process it. For anyone approaching film history or surrealism, this is where you start. Stream Un Chien Andalou (1929) online on iFILM.
