Buñuel, a Surrealist Filmmaker

Luis Buñuel, precursor of surrealist film, always maintained references to the postulates of this cinematic avant-garde throughout his career. With his distinctive sense of humor, Buñuel continuously integrated memories of his childhood and youth—a driving force behind the uniqueness of his work. Buñuel’s films convey his worldview, ideas, doubts, and storytelling prowess without ever sacrificing his most intimate obsessions.
