The quintessential Surrealist film, Un Chien Andalou was the incendiary cinematic debut of co-directors Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí. Buñuel's witty and perpetually surprising montage disrupts ordinary patterns of logic, simultaneously parodying and celebrating l'amour fou. According to legend, for the first 1929 screenings, Buñuel manually juxtaposed recordings of the Prelude to Richard Wagner's Tristan and Isolde (1859) and an Argentinian tango. This has since become the established score for the film. With English subtitles.
