This book first came to my attention because Criterion often puts excerpts from these famous interviews in the booklets included with their releases of Luis Buñuel films. If I can trust my memory, I believe I had previously read the interviews pertaining to Belle de Jour, The Exterminating Angel, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie and That Obscure Object of Desire -- all great films -- and these discussions between critics José de la Colina and Tomás Pérez Turrent and Luis Buñuel really fasci...
حتما لازم است همه فیلم های بونوئل قبل خواندن کتاب دیده شود. دو خبرنگار مکزیکی با « دن لوئیس» مصاحبه و به ترتیب در مورد همه فیلم های ایشان گفتگو می کنند. حال و هوای « با آخرین نفس هایم » بسیار تفاوت دارد با این کتاب. آن یکی را بونوئل، دلی گفته و نوشته. اینجا پرسش و پاسخ است در مورد همه فیلم ها. هرچند « دن لوئیس» در واقع پاسخی نمی دهد. در بیشتر جاها می گوید: " نمی دانم، اینطور حس کردم، دلیلش را من هم نمی دانم و ... ". این کتاب و کتاب «با آخرین نفس هایم» و فیلم های عالیجناب بونوئل، برای من از دلخوش...
جالبیش این بود هیچ چیزی در مورد قصدش از گذاشتن برخی عنصر های سورئال تو فیلم هاش نمیگفت و فقط میگفت که حس کردم یا دوست داشتم که این عنصر رو تو صحنه بذارم و شما ازادید که هرطور دوست دارید تفسیر کنید :))در حقیقت سینما یعنی همین، این که هرکی ازاد باشه هرجور که میخواد تفسیر کنه نه اینکه کارگردان عقایدش رو بکنه تو حلق بیننده
Luis Buñuel speaks about his films.
My only complaint about Buñuel's My Last Sigh was that he didn't go into much detail about his films. Man, is that every rectified with this volume, which was created specifically to dive into his films. Aside from some minor works that get lumped together, each film of his gets a dedicated chapter, with old Luis offering fascinating insights into what inspired each of his films. He's as sharp and funny as ever, with a very nonchalant attitude about what his films "mean." It can be frustrating t...
This is absolutely essential reading for fans of the enigmatic and reclusive Bunuel, whose career in motion pictures spanned 50 years. He is interviewed, and at times interrogated, by his friends, allowing the discussion to veer into his personal life and various obsessions with good humor and mutual understanding. The book has been compiled in a chronological order and it will give you a good sample of his long life, from his friendship with the key Surrealists like Salvador Dali, to his amusin...
Book length Q&A with one of the great filmmakers Luis Bunuel. What makes him such a great character and artist is the way he mixes the humor with the grotesque. His films are almost as silly as one of those teenage movies - Police Academy vol 1 thru 4 or whatever. You just basically sit in the theater or front of a screen and let him drive the car. You are going to go somewhere interesting -just trust Bunuel.
Im pretty sure this is the book that at the end has these little word games that Bunuel wrote throughout his childhood and career. They are beautiful little quips.
