For those of you interested in learning more about Un Chien Andalou, see the following wikipedia entry. Apparently the film was very influenced by Freudian psychoanalysis. Also, Salvador Dali makes two appearances in the film, first as one of the priests that are drug along with the dead donkeys, then as the preppy looking boyfriend at the end.
