Non-Fiction Memoir
A provocative memoir from Luis Buñuel, the Academy Award
winning creator of some of modern cinema's most important
films, from Un Chien Andalou to The Discreet Charm
of the Bourgeoisie.
Luis Buñuel’s films have the
power to shock, inspire, and reinvent our world. Now, in a
memoir that carries all the surrealism and subversion of his
cinema, Buñuel turns his artistic gaze inward. In swift and
generous prose, Buñuel traces the surprising contours of his
life, from the Good Friday drumbeats of his childhood to the
dreams that inspired his most famous films to his turbulent
friendships with Federico García Lorca and Salvador Dalí.
His personal narratives also encompass the pressing
political issues of his time, many of which still haunt us
today—the specter of fascism, the culture wars, the nuclear
bomb. Filled with film trivia, framed by Buñuel’s intellect
and wit, this is essential reading for fans of cinema and
for anyone who has ever wanted to see the world through a
surrealist’s eyes.
