Where should I begin? Un Chien Andalou was definitely a difficult film to follow. I am certain that the time sequencing played a key part in this. The narrative or lack thereof, was much different in comparison to a modern-day love story or drama. In modern-day films, it’s almost always easy to gain an understanding for the characters, the setting, and the plot in order to get a hold of the general idea or gist of what the director wanted his/her audience to acquire during or after the film is over. After Un Chien Andalou, I was left with a few questions that are still and will probably always be left unanswered.
Even though the film was produced in 1929, the "effects" that were used in the movie were pretty decent, considering the fact that they did not have the tools and machinery that film crews have access to today. I can definitely see the usage of surrealism and realism in this film as being the starting point to eerie, horror films such as “The Amityville Horror” or “The Cell”.
