SYNOPSIS

One of the seminal (and most notorious) films of the avant-garde and the most fully-realised Surrealist film, this was Bunuel's first directorial effort... The dream-like quality of the film's logic and the striking originality of the images combine to create a series of memorable visual metaphors, the most celebrated being the razor slicing across an exposed cornea. In England the film was banned from public exhibition until 1968 when it received an "X" certificate.
