A Dali lovers "must see"
A 20's surrealistic film that was outlawed back in the days. Interesting to see. (eyeball slice anyone?)

Amazing
Yes, an eyeball is sliced, and yes, it is gross as hell, but that's the great thing about this short film. Everything about this film is frustrating. And it's a classic because of that. If you like Dali, or just cinema in general, see Un Chien Andalou.

<[:-} freak dogg / mondo pretensioso
“...chien...” is amusing but falls way short of its reputation. as i would expect of anything that had salvador dali’s grubby hands on it, its a hedfug con job. i lost track of the number of animals that had to be killed to make this and “...bread.” in the infamous opening, a man (bunuel himself?) hones a straight razor, grabs a woman around the neck from behind, and slices open her left eye (supposedly a real animal eye). after this, the misogynist horror degenerates into freaky comedy. pierre batcheff, sort of a no dignity jim carrey / roberto benigni hybrid, likes to dress in nun’s wimples and doodads. he might be dead, from hitting his head in a weak bicycle accident. ants munch on a severed hand in the street and crawl on his. he drools, rolls eyes up, and gropes a very reluctant simone mareuil, who looks like a plumper louise brooks, and chases her around a tiny one room apartment upstairs from the accident scene. at one point he’s dragging a makeshift sled with two priests, a piano, and a skinned donkey carcass in tow. i suppose he's buggin' because the church has messed the ho's head up. “...bread is a proto “mondo” film with wack science like “venomous” mosquitoes and “greedy” honeybees (the implication is that they bite a donkey to death). the “huerdes” don’t look pampered, but obviously aren’t as starved as the film tries to present them. a goat clambering on rocks seems to have been shot to stage a “fall.” its a despicable and, worse, boring film if you don’t buy into it. i’d much rather have a tape of bunuel and dali being starved, stung by bees, shot, undergoing “eye surgery,” whatever.
