Un Chien Andalou At The Barbican Friday Night

I am the blood in the corner of your eye…

If you’re thinking of attending Michael Clark‘s penultimate show at The Barbican on Friday evening (June 11), you may want to relive 1976 by nipping along to Cinema 1 in the interval for Buñuel and Dali‘s surrealist masterpiece, Un Chien Andalou…not sure of the timing will work though, so best to check that out first.

It’s showing with L’Age d’Or, as it often does, and I personally haven’t seen it on the big screen since Monday May 3rd, 1976, at Wembley Empire Pool, when it was used as the introduction to David Bowie’s 1976 World Tour shows.

The most famous image from the film was even utilised for the front of the August 1976 David Bowie Fan Club newsletter and I’m sure I don’t need to go in to detail of what’s about to happen.
