The Films of Luis Buñuel: Subjectivity and Desire (Oxford Hispanic Studies)

This text presents a study of the films of Luis Bunuel, surrealist scourge of the bourgeoisie. The book discusses Bunuel in the context of the most recent debates in film studies and presents new readings on the whole range of his work, from the Mexican movies of the 1950s to such classics of European cinema as "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie", "That Obscure Object of Desire", and "Belle de Jour". This study should interest scholars and students of film studies and Hispanic studies as well as general readers interested in film and Bunuel in particular.
