Book description
A master filmmaker, inimitable, and unrelenting in his assault on
bourgeois values. Bunuel's method is free from all artifice, and his
honesty and humour are to extreme to accept any compromise in exposing
our deceit and our decadence. Like Pasolini, his work offers a
remarkably sophisticated political analysis, but remains based in the
essentially peasant values of storytelling, and the purposefully
unsystematic supervisions of laughter. Luis Bunuel was born in Spain
in 1900. He died in 1983.
