Luis Bunuel (1900-1983) was one of the twentieth century's greatest filmmakers. His many credits include Un Chien Andalou (1924), which he conceived with Salvador Dali, and The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972), which won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film.
May be quite simply the loveliest testament ever left by a film director. --The New York Times Book Review One of the best books ever offered by a moviemaker. Buuel is the proper human landmark for a moment when Europe met America and the schemes of religion, property, and progress were reassessed as dreams. --The New Republic
