The Andalusian Dog (Un Chien Andalou)

In a dream-like sequence, a woman's eye is slit open, juxtaposed with a similarly shaped cloud obscuring the moon moving in the same direction as the knife through the eye to grab the audience's attention. The French phrase "ants in the palms", (which means that someone is itching to kill) is shown literally. A man pulls a piano along with the tablets of the Ten Commandments and a dead donkey towards the woman he's itching to kill. A shot of differently striped objects is repeatedly used to connect scenes.
