This is it: film with eyes!

In addition, there are horses in a piano, a hand without a human, a hand with human and ants, odd facial hair, desire and death, etc.

Buñuel’s first work is a network of attacks on bourgeois society that can only be conveyed through the viewing of the film — a surreal cinema with shock effects and breakings of taboos that still remains timely.
