Bøker av Luis Bunuel

Film. Spanish Literature. Translated from the Spanish by Chase Madar. One of Luis Bunuel's most sardonically humorous and visually dazzling movies, THE EXTERMINATING ANGEL reveals the capacity for a screenplay to also be a linguistically brilliant satire of social aspirations. Here, the 1962 film presents itself in script form as an important work of literature.

A collection which proceeds chronologically, from poetry and short stories which offer insights into the filmmaker, Luis Bunuel's life and thought.

A master filmmaker, inimitable, and unrelenting in his assault on bourgeois values. 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.
