An eye-opener in more senses than
one, this great surrealist masterpiece
- co-written by Luis Bunuel and
Salvador Dali - still has the power to
shock. Starting with an open razor
(wielded by Buhuel) slicing a girl's
eyeball, this short film goes on to
clash lyrical images with violent ideas
to show how love is held back by
tradition.
Not as meaningless as it seems, and as anti-clerical as Bunuel was to become in all his later films, it still has enormous intensity.
