Un chien andalou is the first film by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí made in 1929, where a man sharpens a knife with which he cuts a woman’s eye in a shocking way while a cloud passes in front of the moon.
This scene creates a shocking shock to the viewer before this vision was aimed at fixing in the horror all feelings of aesthetic appreciation that could be felt before such mutilation. What makes this film different is that Buñuel and Dalí were not influenced by technique or style exercises, even if they were avant-garde. There is a break with traditional molds.
The film aimed to bring the dreams that these artists had to a level of expression, so the images do not have much connection in terms of history, but in each of them you can highlight the elements of strangeness, irrationality, elements of a imaginary world where there is no sense, but that reflects a very real feeling, such as sexual desire, when a woman’s breasts are seized, there is a rebellion to express her beliefs.
His creative process consisted basically of working on the images that came to mind, without stopping to examine or think about them, since the only thing that as creators rejected was that these images could be given a rational, psychological or cultural interpretation.
“Debaser” is a song by American alternative rock band Pixies, and is the first song on their 1989 album Doolittle.The lyrics are based on a surrealist film by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí called Un Chien Andalou. The film includes a scene in which a woman’s eye is slit by a razor, which is referenced in the song lyric “Slicin’ up eyeballs/I want you to know.” The title “Debaser” references the fact that Un Chien Andalou debases morality and standards of art. According to Black Francis:
I wish Buñuel were still alive. He made this film about nothing in particular. The title itself is a nonsense. With my stupid, pseudo-scholar, naive, enthusiast, avant-garde-ish, amateurish way to watch Un chien andalou (twice), I thought: ‘Yeah, I will make a song about it.’ [He sings:] “Un chien andalou”… It sounds too French, so I will sing “un chien andalusia”, it sounds good, no?
