Disguises, jokes, masks, peculiar hands, hidden feet, and photogenic insects were to Luis Bu"uel the emblems of artistic destiny. With these and other private jokes, he made 32 films, and created one of the most intimate and fascinating cinematic universes in the history of film. One of the true creators of the modern cinema, Bu"uel's films are both subtle and shocking, as deceptively simple as they are rich in incident and striking in the power of their imagery. Inflected by Surrealism, informed by realism, and mediated by the logic of dreams, Bu"uel's cinema is astonishingly singular. Published on the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of his birth, this volume features informative and evocative texts on Bu"uel's life and times, from 1900 to 1983, interviews with friends, family, and colleagues, a consideration of his most important themes, and a filmography and bibliography.

Fine, Luis Bunuel was one of the true creators of the modern cinema. He made over 30 films, working in France, Republican Spain, the United States (at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and in Hollywood), and Mexico, where he died in 1983. Bunuel's films are both subtle and shocking, as deceptively simple as they are rich in incident and striking in the power of their imagery. Inflected by Surrealism, informed by realism, and mediated by the logic of dreams, Bunuel's cinema is astonishingly singular.This book, originally published in Spanish and French, is now presented in a bilingual Spanish/English edition.
