This collection proceeds chronologically, from poetry and short stories written in Bu uel's youth in Spain to an essay written in 1980, not long before his death. Newly translated into English, the writings offer startling insights into the filmmaker's life and thought. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The earliest pieces came well before Bu uel joined the Surrealist movement in Paris and created the landmark film \u003ci\u003eUn chien andalou\u003c\/i\u003e with Salvador Dal . Yet these and the early Surrealist writings reveal the inventiveness of the mind that would later create such masterpieces of cinema as \u003ci\u003eL'Age d'or\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLos olvidados\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eViridiana\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Milky Way\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThat Obscure Object of Desire\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Later writings, which include screenplays and reflections on his own and others' films, illuminate many aspects of Bu uel's career, as well as the ways of thinking and perceiving that underlie his unique cinematic style. The final essay by this extraordinary artist sums up his view of the world--still vibrant and full of contradictions--at the end of his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuñuel is a filmmaker I have been stylistically haunted and influenced by for a very long time.
