Luis Bunuel: A Life in Letters provides access for the first time
to an annotated English-language version of around 750 of the most
important and most widely relevant of these letters. Bunuel
(1900-1983) came to international attention with his first films,
Un Chien Andalou (with Dali, 1929) and L'Age d'Or (1930): two
surprisingly avant-garde productions that established his position
as the undisputed master of Surrealist filmmaking. He went on to
make 30 full-length features in France, the US and Mexico, and
consolidated his international reputation with a Palme d'Or for
Viridiana in 1961, and an Academy Award in 1973 for The Discreet
Charm of the Bourgeoisie. He corresponded with some of the most
famous writers, directors, actors and artists of his generation and
the list of these correspondents reads like a roll call of major
twentieth-century cultural icons: Fellini, Truffaut, Vigo, Aragon,
Dali, Unik - and yet none of this material has been accessible
outside specialist archives and a very small number of publications
in Spanish and French.
