Seen it three times, loved it each time. The second time I watced it, I rifftraxed it with my best friend for the lols. It's officially one of my favorite films and Dali is my favorite painter. I'm now watching L'age D'or as well just to get more of Luis Bunels style.
I like Shorts. Their comfortable and easy to wear.I saw Un chien andalou years ago on a double feature with L’age d’or. Both are pretty much cut from the same cloth although the former seems more shocking nowadays with its more violent imagery (the dead horse’s head was pretty squicky, but it lacks the shock punch of the infamous eye scene). The latter was more notorious in its day thanks to the controversial sexual (esp. the bit where the woman is shrimping the statue; sure it seems tame now...) and religious imagery.
Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883!Mmm... Corneas.
"He's dead all right. So cold." "Is the pizza?"^^^^ Many surrealists were, but Dali openly wasn't. Bunuel, like so many other greats in his territory... invited it, let's say.
It's an old thread, but what the hey.
I actually have the double BFI box set of andalou and L'age d'or, even though they're both easily available online (I have my reasons). It's a nifty set, with a small but decent booklet with extra information on both films. Not so much recommended as the published annotated script with a foreword by Jean Vigo if you're interested in the former.
Been meaning to see this one. There's another similar surrealist flick called The Woman Who Powders Herself that's pretty cool. I'll post more when I see Un Chilean Andalou (sp)
Well, the surrealists were obsessed with Freudian psychology.
