About the artworkThe two friends Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí needed only six days to write the script for what was to be the first Surrealist film, basing it on their own dreams. It immediately attained wide recognition on its première in 1929 at a small, legendary cinema in Paris, Studio des Ursulines, where it was accompanied by Argentine tango music played on a gramophone. The Surrealist group immediately took the film to its heart. The storyline is non-linear and dream-like, with sexual desire and frustration as its essential components. The film is famous for its sophisticated visual effects, for instance the shocking opening scene, with the close-up of what seems to be a woman’s eye being slit with a razor.
