Jackie and Greg take on Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí's surrealist cannonball from 1929 that sent shockwaves throughout the art world. Topics of discussion include the film's origins; how Buñuel miscalculated his audience; id, ego, and suppressed human emotions; and and how the dreamlike imagery literally has no meaning. Join them as they talk excitedly about eyeballs, ants, and armpit hair. With a 16-minute runtime, this is the shortest film on the Sight & Sound list!

#93 on Sight & Sound's 2012 "The 100 Greatest Films of All Time" list.
