About Film
Un Chien Andalou，1929
▌This short surrealist film, created in collaboration by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí, is considered one of the most subversive works in the history of cinema. Rejecting traditional narrative logic, the film unfolds through dreamlike fragments, challenging the viewer’s rationality and habitual modes of perception.
Deeply influenced by Freud’s theory of the unconscious and the Dada movement, the film presents a rebellious stance against social repression and religious constraints. Buñuel and Dalí wrote the script through a process of free association, deliberately excluding rational structure, turning the film into a visual poem and an artistic experiment. This work not only pioneered the style of surrealist cinema but also marked a significant milestone in the development of modern art and cinematic language in the 20th century.
La Chute de la Maison Usher，1928
The experimental silent film by French director Jean Epstein, adapted from Edgar Allan Poe’s short story of the same name, is considered one of the masterpieces of French Impressionist cinema. Through poetic visual language, the film conveys a Gothic atmosphere and psychological horror, employing a wide array of visual techniques such as slow motion, superimposition, lens distortion, and dynamic lighting to create a dreamlike sense of unease.
In terms of cinematic language, the film emphasizes “inner rhythm” and sensory expression, allowing the imagery itself to become the primary vehicle of emotion. It not only represents an early exploration of cinematic poetics but also transforms the psychological depth of literature into a purely visual experience. This work exemplifies French Impressionist cinema’s focus on time, emotion, and subjective perspective, and stands as a classic that perfectly fuses visual poetry with humanistic reflection.
