DESCRIPTION - 'I have said everything I had to say a long time ago and I haven't changed my mind,' said Luis Buñuel in defense of his notorious refusal to discuss his films publicly. However, late in his life, from 1975 to 1977, the father of Surrealist cinema agreed to underta1 a film-by-film examination of his life and work through a series of interviews conducted with two old friends, Mexican writers Jose de la Colina and Tomâs Perez Turrent. Here, for the first time in English, is the record of this extraordinary series of conversations revised and edited by Buñuel himself just before his death. In them, the director speaks variously of his wide-ranging experiences his exile, first in ew York and then in Mexico, after the Spanish Civil War, his childhood in Calanda, the years in Madrid at the Residencia de Estusliantes, where he studied with Federico Garcia Lorca and Salvador Dali. It was with Dali later in Paris that he made the infamous Un Chien andalou, and through whom he met the great artists working in France at the time among them Pablo Picasso, Andre Breton, and Tristan Tzara. Buñuel recalls in great detail the circumstances in which he created, and the sources of inspiration for, such masterpieces as Los olvidados, The Exterminating Angel, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, and That Obscure Object of Desire. In the tradition of such classic titles as Bergman on Bergman and Truffaut on Truffaut, in Objects of Desire we have a fundamental and indispensable text for looking at the work of one of the most original and iconoclastic figures in twentieth-century art and cinema. In granting these interviews, Buñuel hoped to provide his last words on his life and work; just before beginning to work he told the authors, If the book of interviews comes out well I won't have to talk anymore: if someone asks me for an interview I'll simply give them the book.' inventory #41055.
