As the father of cinematic Surrealism, extensive critical attention
has been devoted to Luis Bunuel's cinema. Much has been written
about his first Surrealist films of the 1920s and 1930s and the
French art movies of the 1960s and 1970s. However, here for the
first time is a queer re-reading of Bunuel's Spanish-language films
allowing us to view Bunuel's cinema through a lens of queer
spectatorship. Focusing on the films Bunuel produced in Mexico and
Spain during the 1950s and 1960s, Julian Daniel Gutierrez-Albilla
argues not that Bunuel's films have a homosexual subplot, but that
there are multiple forms of identity, subjectivity and sexuality
present in these films.
"Queering Bunuel" brings together the fields of film studies,
feminist and queer theory, Hispanic studies, psychoanalysis and art
theory. Gutierrez-Albilla succeeds in reconceptualizing Bunuel's
Mexican and Spanish films beyond geographical, historical and
disciplinary boundaries, questioning not just how we see Bunuel,
but also how we see cinema.
