Bunuel's many award-winning films include Belle de our, Nazarin, Los Olvidados, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie and That Obscure Object of Desire. Madrid, Paris, Hollywood, New York and Mexico; Salvador Dali, Lorca, Andre Breton, Max Ernst, Miro and Charlie Chaplin all feature in this superb autobiography of Bunuel's extraordinary career.

A master filmmaker, inimitable, and unrelenting in his assault on bourgeois values. Bunuel's method is free from all artifice, and his honesty and humour are to extreme to accept any compromise in exposing our deceit and our decadence. Like Pasolini, his work offers a remarkably sophisticated political analysis, but remains based in the essentially peasant values of storytelling, and the purposefully unsystematic supervisions of laughter.
