ABSTRACT
The non-linear film is not a Quentin Tarantino creation. As early as 1929, Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí made Un Chien Andalou, the first nonlinear film. That film, with its fragmented narrative, its leaps into fantasy, its shock juxtapositions, and its lack of narrative progression, provided an excellent vehicle for Buñuel and Dalí to voice their views on dreams, the Church, the Bourgeoisie, art, society, and anti-narrative narrative, leaving Un Chien Andalou open to a variety of interpretations.
