Un Chien Andalou is an European avant-garde surrealist film, a collaboration between director Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dali.
The film consists of a series of tightly interlinked vignettes, the most sustained of which details the story of a man and a woman who are passionately in love. Their attempts to consummate their passion are constantly thwarted, by their families, by the Church and bourgeois society in general.
A biopic of Napoleon Bonaparte, tracing the Corsican's career from his schooldays (where a snowball fight is staged like a military campaign) to his flight from Corsica, through the French Revolution (where a real storm is intercut with a political storm) and the Terror, culminating in his triumphant invasion of Italy in 1797.

Abel Gance’s Napoleonic epic in its previously unreleased and definitive “Grande Version.” After 16 years of an unprecedented collective endeavor in the history of the Cinémathèque française, the public is finally invited to witness firsthand a film unseen since 1927. A remarkable reconstruction led by Georges Mourier, accompanied by an original score composed by the talented Simon Cloquet-Lafollye and recorded by musicians from the RadioFrance orchestras.
