	Luis Bunuel: Love, Lava and Lavatories
		The opening scene of Luis Bunuel's first film is a combination of two dreams, his own dream of a cloud slicing through the moon, and that of Salvador Dali involving a hand with ants crawling out of it.
		It is as if Bunuel is saying that when society tries to civilize and control desires, that is precisely when they become excessive and "perverse." He uses the image of a toilet, an obvious symbol of excrement and dirt, (far from what is generally erotic) for shock value.
		Bunuel is successful in his attempt to scandalize the dominant groups by humorously pointing out their repressive forces.

		Luis Bunuel was born in 1900 in Calanda, a village of about three thousand inhabitants, located 115 kilometers from Zaragoza in Spain.
		Bunuel's work as a film artist was a pitiless analysis of his childhood, filled with aesthetic reminders whether they be musical, literary, or simply objects.
		Bunuel never lost sight of his goals as a film artist and he took from his past to create much of the imagery that turns up in his work.

	"Thank God I'm an atheist:"
		Luis Bunuel was born February 22, 1900 in Calanda, a small town in the province of Teruel, Spain.
		Bunuel asked, "What can I do about the people who adore all that is new, even when it goes against their deepest convictions, or about the insincere, corrupt press and the inane herd that saw beauty and poetry in something which was basically no more than a desperate call for murder?" (Bauche 9).
		Luis Bunuel's flair for perverse surrealism and his malicious attacks on conventional morality were fully realized in his second to last film, Le Fantome de la Liberte (The Phantom of Liberty), produced in France in 1974--almost fifty years after Un Chien Andalou.

		Buñuel had barely arrived in San Jose Purua when he felt unwell, ill at ease (this was 1979 and Luis, who always said he was "born with the century," was therefore seventy-nine years old).
		During all the years of our collaboration, we had one ritual: every evening at the sacred cocktail hour Luis would isolate himself in the calm semidarkness of a bar, savor a dry martini, and allow himself to be taken over by images.

		Bunuel despised her, and when the same kind of loose"sharing of dreams" that had worked so well in the earlier filmdidn't come so easily in the writing sessions for "L'Age D'Or," he angrily blamed the influence of Gala on Dali's"shallow" mind-state.

	Luis Buñuel: A Centennial Celebration (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		At the close of a year-long, international celebration of the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Spanish director Luis Buñuel (1900–1983), Harvard Film Archive presents this special retrospective series, which features a pair of engaging film portraits of the artist as well as ten of the major works from his remarkable fifty-year career.
		Among the most delicious of these paradoxes is the way in which Buñuel came to judge himself: he expressed contempt for his own work, claimed to detest art in general, and publicly declared that he would willingly set fire to the negatives of all his films.
		Produced with the help of family, friends, and colleagues of Buñuel’s from across Europe and North America, this new portrait of the filmmaker captures the life of one of the most complex figures of the international cinema.

		Cet obscur objet du désir (1977) (as Luis Bunuel)
		There has always been a temptation to view Bunuel as one of the few towering artists who have condescended to adopt film as their means of expression.
		The detachment of Bunuel's camera, the apparent emphasis on the inner potency of an image as distinct from its form, Raymond Durgnat's point about the amount of three-quarter-length shots, do not detract from the constant elegance of Bunuel's films.

	The Indiscreet Charms of Luis Buñuel (Luis Bunuel)
		Luis Buñuel's filmmaking spanned five decades, from An Andalusian Dog in 1928 (according to most sources, although the usually reliable Internet Movie Database says 1929) to That Obscure Object of Desire in 1977.

		Luis Buuel (1900-1983) is celebrated today as "the father of cinematic Surrealism" for creating subversive classics from the beginning of his career, L' ge d'or (1930), until the end, That Obscure Object of Desire (1977).
		Bunuel's adventure begins with Crusoe defying his strict father and setting out "...bound to Africa to find slaves." From the very get-go, Bunuel's concern is the paternal master/slave relationship.
		If you enjoy Bunuel, there are plenty of moments to enjoy: Crusoe's fever dream, his fantasy of blowing up the cannibals, the role of bugs, etc. And there's a highly critical subtext about Crusoe's attitude toward "Friday" which is interesting, but doesn't quite overcome the campy nature of the overall production.

		The film actually works on several levels, many of which offer Bunuel's often biting commentary on various aspects of life, including the blind acceptance of organized religion (for which the film was banned by the Catholic church for decades, and Bunuel was excommunicated), love and sex, human tolerance, class distinction (short but brilliant), and more.
		As much as "Un chien andalou", Bunuel's first movie (1929) was equally Dali's and his, "L'Âge d'or" which is a sequel to "Un chien andalou" is all Bunuel's even with Dali credited for writing.
		There are many disturbing and shockingly violent images in the paradise created by Bunuel's fantasy; one is Lya Lys's face when she is sucking on the marble toe of the Greek goddess's statue desperately waiting for her beloved with whom she is never able to be together.
