Omschrijving

[A] magnificent addition to Buñuel studies.

[A] magnificent addition to Buñuel studies.

A gift of much-needed Buñueliana, a last lingering visit with one of the 20th century's most lovable and acerbic troublemakers, as he slowly, and with a vast cabal of friends, carves out a singular cinematic highway, against the odds of mass entertainment fashion and commerce.

This superb book gathers together a comprehensive collection of some of the most important and widely relevant examples of Luis Buñuel’s correspondence ... [And] offers a wealth of insight into Buñuel’s creative process and how he worked with his closest collaborators ... It’s also fascinating to see how long Buñuel struggled for work ... In correspondence with close friends, Buñuel retains an unshakeable optimism that something will come up around the corner ... which sets a terrific example for artists trying to make their way in the world.

Witty, humorous, revelatory, Buñuel’s letters are a rich mine of information on one of the world’s greatest film-makers. This superb edition of letters from and to Buñuel will be essential reading for anyone interested in the history of world cinema.

As much an essential companion piece to My Last Sigh as it is to Luis Buñuel’s films, this correspondence from the battlefields of Mexican genre cinema, family life, exile, success, Hollywood and the European art house is the unholy grail for all those seeking to unpick the myth from the man. Amongst much else that is as intimate as it is open, these letters communicate Buñuel’s wry, amused and bemused reflections, his memories as works-in-progress, and his frequent efforts to set straight twisted records. Garlanded with informative footnotes, this collection is a magnificent testament to the everyday burden and bonhomie of being Buñuel.
