Luis Buñuel

"Luis Bunuel lived many lives - surrealist, Spanish Civil War propagandist, hedonist, friend of artists and poets, and filmmaker. With surprising candor and wit, Bunuel offers his sometimes scathing opinions on the literati and avante-garde members of his sweeping social circle, including Pablo Picasso, Jorge Luis Borges, Salvador Dali, and Federico Garcia Lorca. These colorful stories of his nomadic life reveal a man of stunning imagination and influence."--Jacket.

My Last Sigh

Este libro resulta del compillo de dieciocho años de tranajo y de amistad entre Luis Buñuel y Jean-Claude carriére. Juntos hicieron seis obras maestras del cine - 'Diario de una camarera', 'Selle de jour', 'La vía láctea', 'El discreto encanto de la burguesía' 'El fantasma de la libertad' y 'Ese oscuro objeto de deseo'. El libro nació espontáneamente de sus entrevistas en España y México durante los intervalos de las sesiones de trabajo. El uno evocando sus recuerdos y el otro recogiendo las palabras de su amigo a anotándolas. 'Mi último suspiro' recoge la voz y las proprias palabras de Luis Buñuel.

Mi último suspiro

أنفاسي الأخيرة

A Film

Belle de Jour

A master film-maker, Luis Bunuel offers a remarkably sophisticated political analysis, but remains based in the essentially peasant values of storytelling and the purposefully unsystematic supervisions of laughter. Originally published: London: Cape, 1984.

My Last Breath

José de la Colina

Tomás Pérez Turrent

From 1975 to 1977, Bunuel agreed to undertake a film-by-film examination of his life and work through a series of interviews conducted with two old friends. This is revised and edited by the author himself just before his death.

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. Illustrations include documentary photographs as well as over 350 film stills, many in color, from works ranging from his first, shocking Surrealist collaboration with Salvador Dali, Un Chien Andalou (1929), to Belle de Jour (1966), The Discrete Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972), and That Obscure Object of Desire (1977). Including the most thorough chronology, filmography, and bibliography available, this is the ultimate book on Bunuel.

Tristana: a Film

Julio Alejandro

Tristana is a novel where love, hate and power converge into a triangle of domination and frustration. Tristana, a young woman subjected to the rule of the tyrannical Don Lope, idealistically tries to find her purpose in life but she ends up trapped by the rules of a world dominated by men who only see her as the object of their desire.
