Luis Buñuel

Luis BUÑUEL (Spain, 1900 - Mexico, 1983), founder of surrealism in the cinema, was one of the most influential directors in the history of film. From his short film Un chien Andalou (1929) to Cet obscur objet du désir (1977) he was to remain controversial, partly because of his anticlerical attitudes and his obsession with the most subversive sides of bourgeois society.
