A Luis Bunuel Blog-a-Thon starts today sponsored by www.flickhead.net ... Bunuel (1900-1983) is the great Spanish Surrealist director of UN CHIEN ANDALOU, LOS OLVIDADOS, VIRIDIANA, BELLE DE JOUR and many other acknowledged film classics. There's more than a National connection with the equally anarchic Spaniard, Jess Franco. In the early 1970s Bunuel and Franco were named by the Vatican as the two most dangerous directors for Catholics!
I'm going to try to put up a blog on some of Bunuel's Mexican ventures as my contribution.
