Did you know
• At the Paris premiere, Luis Buñuel hid behind the screen with stones in his pockets for fear of being attacked by the confused audience. Nothing of the sort happened. In fact, the audience loved its mysterious and incomprehensible plot.
• Luis Buñuel told Salvador Dalí about a dream in which a cloud sliced the moon in half "like a razor blade slicing through an eye." Dalí responded that he'd dreamt about a hand crawling with ants. Out of these two dreams this film was born.
• (at around 1 min) A dead calf's eye was used in the scene where the woman's eye is slit.

Surrealist as well as disturbing short movie with strange scenes , unsettling nightmares and shocking imagery
<Hablar de sentido no tiene sentido> - There is no sense in talking about meaning
This movie is like those music videos without any meaning but still interesting.
