Kinaesthesia

A scene from UN CHIEN ANDALOU contains a gruesome close-up image of an eyeball being sliced with a razorblade. Milder scenes of violence depict boxers fighting in a ring, a person being shot and falling from the top of a building, a ghostly character being grabbed by the throat, and an implied stabbing is depicted through the use of shadows.

There is frequent use of extracts from silent films featuring surreal, unsettling imagery and scary scenes relating to death, mental illness, murderers and menacing supernatural entities. One clip shows a woman contemplating drowning her baby in a river, and another depicts a group of men attempting to use a guillotine to execute a struggling dog.

Sustained footage taken from the 1927 film METROPOLIS shows a woman in a revealing costume dancing in front of an audience of leering men.

A clip from the 1929 silent film UN CHIEN ANDALOU shows a man groping a woman’s clothed breasts, which transform into bare breasts and then bare buttocks under his hands.

Injury detail features black and white images of a human severed hand, a bloodied animal corpse and a hand with ants crawling out from a hole in the palm.
