About the director: Luis Buñuel
Luis Buñuel was born in the town of Calanda, Teruel, Spain. In 1920, Buñuel founded Spain's first film club. In 1924, Buñuel emigrated in Paris as an assistant to the French avant-garde director Jean Epstein, where he studied at the film school he founded. In 1928, he collaborated with the famous Spanish painter Salvador Dalí to shoot the film "An Andalus Dog", which was the foundation of Surrealism and caused a strong sensation in Paris. Following "A Dog of Andalus," Buñuel made The Golden Age, which explores a series of major themes such as sex, religion, love, and war, with strong irony and metaphor that keep the film banned. A Dog of Andalus and The Golden Age became the mother of Buñuel's later films and the insurmountable pinnacle of surrealist cinema. Directors' work often reflects personal experience, and Louis Buñuel's films mostly attack the middle class and the Christian church. In attacking the hypocrisy, indifference and questioning of true religious beliefs of the Christian Church, Buñuel filmed a series of religious trilogies such as Villitiana, Simon in the Desert, and Nazarin.
