First what the hell now that is out of the way Au Chien Andalou or in english An Andalusian Dog is a surreal trip rather than a movie saying that with salvador dali it isn't surprising it is to say a little bit odd but yeah on to the review.
Now i will admit i had not heard of this 'interesting' movie before but when i watch it and compare the year i could see how it was so big and so groundbreaking with it's filming and and how far it would go when it wanted to show something. Now while watching this i feel like i am in a messed up dream which from what i have heard these are all pieces of dream sequences anyway so i guess it does deliver itself very well but i tell you dreams in media are either weird gruesome or really well done i think this one is a combo of gruesome and well done.
While saying that it feels like it is the beginning that gives that feeling and the rest is a limping dog trying to keep his back end up with his healthy front but that may just be my opinion but i think this really lets it done since most of it i have no clue what is going on what really doesn't help when watching it with others since you want to lean over a go 'did i miss something','huh why is he doing that' which no one enjoys listening to while watching something.
I am not sure if i have the long version but it is about 15 minutes which when it gets to the last five minutes i get really bored. i will be fair though i believe this was the director's first movie and normally no director can get there first movie as the one they are gonna be sitting on the green/money because of it but what i think is that though it seems like a cult classic which can go either way by being so bad it's good or just being bad, It seems that unlike most cult classics people have good things to say about it which i guess is a major praise keeping in mind the age and the length of it.
You know besides that it is worth a view for you to judge yourself after all you may love it, myself i think i would maybe see it again in a few years time but i tell you no rush to do that also have fun trying to make sense out of it all, i assure you it is impossible to understand it completely.
