An Andalusian Dog (1929) Synopsis

Once upon a time, a man with a steady hand, one shave-ready straight razor, a woman compliant to the point of extreme submission, and her precious eyeball somehow mingled together. In the night sky above, the moon suffers a deep laceration from a slender cloud, and somewhere in a bourgeois living room, the festering bodies of two dead donkeys are dragged atop black grand pianos, while tireless ants scamper in a man's palm. Bizarre desires and perpetually appealing sexual frustrations prepare the ground for a shockingly sensual and utterly surreal magnum opus of provocation.—Nick Riganas
