Bunuel

Bunuel stands among the greatest creative artists of the century. His films, from his collaborative Un Chien Andalou with Salvador Dali in 1928 to a late blossoming in the sixties and seventies with Belle de Jour, Viridiana, and The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, still retain their power to shock. In this superb biography, Luis Bu-uel comes startlingly into the spotlight as an artist who disguised his sensitivity with cynicism and a calculated use of the grotesque.
