EFF: Buñuel: A Surrealist Filmmaker

“Buñuel nearly always made Buñuel films.” - Ingmar Bergman

Spanish filmmaker Luis Buñuel was one of the greatest precursors of surrealist cinema, celebrated for his transgressive and boundary-pushing images, including the notorious eye-slicing scene in his debut feature Un Chien Andalou.  

Taking us deep into his past and evolution as a creator, this comprehensive new documentary provides an unprecedented window into the world and work of an irreplaceable genius whose significant influence can still be felt across the arts.
