Luis Bunuel's first film, the surrealistic masterpiece "Un Chien Andalou" ("An Andalusian Dog"), was based after an exchange of dreams with co-writer Salvador Dali. This tale of desire, opening innocuously enough with the familiar words "Once Upon A Time", contains one of the most memorable scenes in cinema history - a razor blade slashing an eyeball. Made in Paris in 1929, it aims to provoke rather than please its audience. Plus, Bunuel's only film documentary, "Land Without Bread" ("Las Hurdes"), the story of an impoverished Spanish community that reprised the director's fascination with insects, human cruelty and the corruption of the Catholic Church.
