This is still mildly disturbing now, I can't imagine what people did in the 20's.

We were shown this in film class last year.

It was supposed to show what a dream-like movie should be.

I think David Lynch owes this movie a little respect.

its art

Ah, one of my favourites, I also saw this in Film Studies,

[Géza!]

I've also seen this film. Full of subconscious symbols, which is no wonder, seeing how Dalí took part in this, and his speciality was painting his subconscious.

I love this movie.

Ah, yes, Pre-Code Hollywood. Sex, violence, and shit you can't get away with anymore.

I got a .gif of the eyeball slice, but I'm pretty sure you guys don't want to see it.

meh, it wasnt too bad.

[mrryanchisholm]

I remember when the eyeball got slit during class.

people were falling asleep due to it being a silent film (no fucking respect at all) just to be woken up with the rest of the class going "EWWWWWWWW!"

Fun times. I loved film class.

That was mental.

One of my favourites! You can buy it in a boxset with L'Age D'Or, a feature length silent film very similar to this one and also made by Luis Bunuel (one of my favourite directors!)

I saw this in my French class when we're studying surrealism.

[sp]It's a bull's eye. If you look again you can see the fur around the eye[/sp]

I heard it was [sp]A dead donkey, one of the ones that dragged the piano[/sp]

[RearAdmiral]

I saw this a few years ago in my film studies class. Probably the first example of surrealist film.

I found this film on Wikipedia during one of my random sessions of Wiki'ing songs, Debaser being one of them :v:

[professor cool.]

this movie is cool and worth a watch once in your life, but does it really deserve a thread?

you want a better experimental silent short? check out meshes of the afternoon by maya deren. its pretty rad
