Buñuel nel labirinto delle tartarughe / 20197.37 voti

Luis Buñuel si trova in un difficile momento della sua vita d'artista. “L'Age d'or”, film manifesto del surrealismo ha scandalizzato tutti i benpensanti ostracizzando il regista da qualsiasi possibilità progettuale in Francia. Individuato in una tesi di dottorato che gli è stata donata da Maurice Legendre il tema del suo prossimo film, deve trovare il denaro per realizzarlo. Sarà un amico, con una vincita alla Lotteria, a consentirgli di girare Las Hurdes, un documentario su un'area della penisola iberica abbandonata totalmente dal governo alla miseria e all'insignificanza sociale.

Speaking of Buñuel / 2000

Surrealist master Luis Buñuel is a towering figure in the world of cinema history, directing such groundbreaking works as Un Chien Andalou, Exterminating Angels, and That Obscure Object of Desire, yet his personal life was clouded in myth and paradox.
