Middle-Classed Communist Luis Buñuel
Abstract
This is an essay on the life and artistic activity of Luis Buñuel. Taborska argues that a discrepancy in Buñuel’s personality and a contradiction between films’ nonconformism and the bourgeoisie life of the patriarch were expressed in his films whose heroes resembled their maker examining himself in the distorting mirror. Buñuel acted in three of his films, including the famous An Andalusian Dog, but an autobiographical climate is characteristic of most of his works, including those based on original scripts or adaptations, especially Viridiana, Tristana and The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie.
