Who created the 1929 Surrealist film Un Chien Andalou with Salvador Dalí?
Answer
Luis Buñuel
Luis Buñuel created the 1929 Surrealist film Un Chien Andalou with Salvador Dalí.
Buñuel directed the short silent film, while Dalí collaborated on its concept and screenplay. The film is famous for abrupt, dreamlike transitions and shocking imagery, including its opening sequence involving a razor and an eye. Its scenes do not follow conventional narrative logic, reflecting Surrealist interest in dreams, coincidence and the unconscious.
Un Chien Andalou lasts about 16 minutes and was first shown in Paris in 1929. It helped establish Buñuel as a major cinematic Surrealist. The film is often confused with L’Age d’Or, a later Buñuel-Dalí project released in 1930, but Un Chien Andalou is the earlier collaboration.
