The film is a challenge to the developing world of film theory, specifically the KuleshovEffect. Kuleshov found that people will create meaning from unrelated scenes simply because they're placed in a sequence (soup in a bowl, a man, a girl in a coffin, the man, a woman on a chaise, the man). Dali and Bunuel wanted to produce a film that couldn't possibly be construed as having any meaning, with every scene being as disconnected as possible from everything around it. Even the title, "An Andalusian Dog" is completely unrelated to anything in the film, as there are no dogs, Andalusian or otherwise.

''Un Chien Andalou'' is a 1929 MindScrew short silent film made by Creator/LuisBunuel and Creator/SalvadorDali. It's the TropeMaker for cinematic EyeScream, a milestone on surrealist cinema, a RealLife example of TrueArtIsIncomprehensible and of course of LeFilmArtistique. The plot — it's indescribable at best.

Either the reader already knows the scene, or they don't. If they know the scene, the warning is pointless, as it is too late. If they don't know the scene, the warning is useless too because the caption doesn't say how the scene ends. Also we're basically telling the reader "don't watch this movie! It is much too gruesome!" Why not let them decide that on their own?

The title translates to ''An Andalusian Dog'', which if anything just makes it more confusing (Dalí's friend Lorca was Andalusian, and they had a falling-out around the production of this film, so the title might have been a TakeThat at Lorca. Buñel, however, denied this).

* SmashCut: used throughout the film, but most notably in the infamous eye scene.

* SurrealMusicVideoSurrealMusicVideo: falls into the hazy realm between UnbuiltTrope and UrExample, encapsulating the concept that the future genre would embrace, but created as an objet d'art for its own sake rather than as an accessory or response an existing musical piece. A major unbuilt aspect is that there was no set soundtrack to the original film, with Buñuel instead playing a varying selection of music at different screenings. The modern standard soundtrack consisting of samples from [[Theatre/TristanUndIsoldeWagner "Liebestrod"]], "Tango Argentino", and "Recuerdos" was added in the 1960's with [[ApprovalOfGod Buñuel's approval]] as representative of the intended experience.
