This book compiles the correspondence of filmmaker Luis Buñuel throughout his extensive career. Edited by Jo Evans and Breixo Viejo, it presents both previously published letters and hundreds of unpublished missives from public and private archives in various countries. Through this collection of letters, a new perspective on the figure of Buñuel is offered, moving away from stereotypical anecdotes and false mythomania, and showing his role as a protagonist of the poetic and transgressive cinema of his time.
Luis Buñuel Portolés was a Spanish filmmaker who worked in France, Mexico, and Spain. He has been widely considered by many film critics, historians, and directors to be one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers of all time. Buñuel's works are known for their avant-garde surrealism which was also infused with political commentary.
