Jones, a professor emerita at the University of New Orleans, has published widely on Spanish American writers of the “Boom,” with a focus on Buñuel’s work in numerous articles for such journals as Cineaste and Cinema Journal. Aub’s book of interviews with Buñuel, published in Spanish in Madrid in 1985, is now available in English, thanks to an excellent translation and editing work done by Julie Jones: Conversations with Buñuel: Interviews with the Filmmaker, Family Members, Friends and Collaborators (McFarland, 2017).
#COMIC LIFE TRIAL FULL#
Since I was a high school student, I became hooked on Buñuel’s cinema with that shot in Un Chien Andalou (1929), made with Salvador Dalí, of a razor blade going through a young woman’s eye, crosscut with an image of a thin cloud passing across the moon.īut we now have a book available that is full of engaging insights into Buñuel’s life and cinema by Buñuel’s friend, Max Aub. Simply mention “Luis Buñuel” as a name, and this Spanish filmmaker who died in 1983 immediately brings up touching and comic surrealistic images in the minds and memories of millions of lovers of cinema. I never know what I’m going to do in the next scene.-Luis Buñuel The word CAMERA never appears in my scripts.
