m] –noun 
a style of art and literature developed principally in the 20th century, stressing the subconscious or nonrational significance of imagery arrived at by automatism or the exploitation of chance effects, unexpected juxtapositions, etc.
An Andalusian Dog is exactly that.
It is a 16 minute silent film that has no real logic. The film is completely random with no defined plot. The flim seems to use dream logic by jumping from thought to thought. Although it jumps it is said to have a flow called "Freudian free association" that was popular during the 1920's. "Once Upon a Time" to "Eight Years Later" and the cutting of dead donkey's eyes...it all seems a little bizarre to me!
