4/4 Stars! “one of the most haunting spaces in the movies…a boldly surrealist film.” (Roger Ebert)

4/4 Stars! “masterwork of the silent era…to look at the screen of this film is to witness a portal into a complex, heretofore unknown dimension of cinematic representation.” (Slant)

Un Chien Andalou:

Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí present 16 minutes of bizarre, surreal imagery.

100%! “A hugely influential masterpiece stuffed with iconic sequences, Un Chien Andalou has lost none of its power to enthrall – or unsettle.” (Rotten Tomatoes)

4/4 Stars! “a masterpiece” (Larsen On Film)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
