I've watched this before, and I love it. Bravo, sir!

The sliced eyeball at the beginning always makes me feel the tiniest bit nauseous... but it's still hilarious. "8 years later..."

I'd heard about that and was apprehensive. When I saw it, I went 'Is that it?'
And yes, the 8 years later is the funniest part

I love how if you observe yourself you start putting scenes together to make some sort of connection, it's a human instinct, but Bunuel wanted it to be completely unconnected.
For example, the bit when the woman looks out of the window and 'sees a body', she's not reacting to that. Bunuel told her to pretend she saw something surprising, say a marching band, and react to that. So the shot of her looking out and the person lying dead are completely unconnected
