Un Chien Andalou is a French film released in 1929. When we watched this film in class, I honestly had no idea what was going on the entire sixteen minutes. It didn't seen to have a plot and even though it was really weird, the images were captivating and kept my eyes on the screen. It starts out with a razor cutting an eyeball (which I later learned was a calf eyeball), and progresses into a series of well edited scenes. Another scene that stood out to me was when ants were crawling out of a hand. It was kind of disturbing and weird, but memorable nonetheless. I think the editing was impressive and showed that it was ahead of it's time.
