The Discreet Art of Luis Bunuel: A Reading of His Films

Gwynne Edwards

Marion Boyars Publishers Ltd; (2000)

Luis Brunel was one of the most startingly and controversal directors of world cinema. This study closely examines the major films right from the brilliant and scandalous Un Chien Andalou through the mature but equally damning late films like The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie and his last film That Obscure Object of Desire. Edwards places the films in context and documents their origin and recurring themes.
