I haven't seen a lot of movies from Luis Buñuel's Mexican period, but what I have been able to catch suggests to me that this fruitful work time often saw the surrealist director turning to more conventional stories rather than the looser, more anarchic films that bookended his creative career. 1956...

Looking forward to viewing this as I'm not as familiar with the more conventional Bunuel.

It's an interesting short analysis of the movie but I am sure Don Luis would have laughed at it if he was alive to see it :)

by Danny Peary - 29Oct90: Luis Buñuel’s thirtieth and final film was adapted from Pierre Louys’ 1898 novel La Femme et le Pantin, about a respected gentleman who gives up everything, including his dignity, because of his obsessive love for a manipulative, heartless young flirt. The...

Talking to a casting director in Los Angeles about a film we were going to make together, I suggested having two actors—sisters, though that didn’t matter—play one role. My casting friend didn’t get it, ...

Luis Buñuel embodied subversion, insolence, and the exaltation of irrationality that characterizes surrealism. The ode to incongruity, the dissolution of the separation between dream and reality, also characterize Buñuel's films, which constitute one of the most important bodies of work in the histo...

Luis Buñuel ->“The cinema seems to have been invented to express the life of the subconscious whose roots penetrate so deeply into poetry. The film seems to be the involuntary imitation of the dream.” – Luis Buñuel

Few directors dreamed on celluloid like Luis Buñuel. His seminal 1929 collaboration with Salvador Dali, Un Chien Andalou — a.k.a. the movie that Black Francis is shouting about in “Debaser” — screens twice throughout Cinematheque Ontario’s series Under the Spell, first as a prelude to the director’s...

"Potemkin has been rightly canonized for its contributions to modern film language — Eisenstein not only invented montage but, arguably, perfected it — and it has also been described as a potent influence on Bu... Read Moreñuel, who was inspired by its unchecked passion and would borrow aspects of its aesthetic (and its ocular violence) for his own work. As for L’Age D’Or, its jovial inventory of depravities —literally filthy outdoor sex, lustful clerics, Christ as a guest at an orgy — remains barbed and hilarious 80 years after it broke the brains of audiences and censors alike, resulting in a five-decade ban."

"It... Read More’s amazing how Buñuel’s cinema never buckles under the weight of its provocations: L’Âge D’Or feels strangely casual, even as the wry debaser behind the camera gleefully demolishes social and religious icons. By contrast, Jean Cocteau’s 1930 film The Blood of a Poet not only evinces the strain of its creation but takes this effort as its very subject. Poet-and-opium-addict-turned-filmmaker Cocteau’s images of sentient statues, lethal snowballs and collapsing factories are organized around the notion of artist-as-protagonist, with the director’s stand-in (Enrique Rivero) in thrall to his inspiration. Cocteau would mine similar psychic terrain in the later instalments of his “Orphic trilogy,” but his debut’s comparative lack of polish gives it an even greater potency: it’s like an urgent communiqué from his cortex to yours."

The great Surrealist succès de scandale and quite possibly the most famous short film ever made, Un Chien Andalou is the astonishing brain-child of Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí, and remains one of the most intriguing collaborations in the history of cinema. ...
