There hasn't been much discussion on this blog yet, but maybe this Buñuel and Dalí film will inspire you. Please feel free to comment on any aspect of the film, but here are a few comments that were made about the film (culled from the _French Film Guide_ of Elza Adamowicz):
--"a desperate, passionate call to murder" (Luis Buñuel)
--a film of "adolescence and death" (Salvador Dalí)
--"that extraordinary film...penetrating so deeply into horror" (Georges Bataille)
--"a tiny little shit of a film" (Frederico Garcia Lorca)
--"a gob of spit in the face of art" (Henry Miller)
What do YOU think?
I thought it was great. It was a bit bewildering, but that's what makes surrealism and Dali interesting. I was honestly surprised that a movie this creepy and dark is from 1929.
ReplyDeleteYet another reason to love Dali. Despite the EXTREMELY traumatizing bit of eyeball gore at the beginning, I'm reminded of La Reve..
