Luis Buñuel (1900-1983) was born in
Calanda, Spain, and studied literature and philosophy at the
University of Madrid. He moved to Paris, where he worked as
an assistant to director Jean Epstein. In 1928, he and
Salvador Dali made the film, Un Chien Andalou,
launching them both into the Surrealist Group. Mr.
Buñuel moved to the United States after the Spanish
Civil War, then settled in Mexico in the late 1940's.
The themes of obsessive desire and the inhibitions
imposed by society dominate his movies. Mr. Buñuel's
Viridiana (1961) won the Cannes Film Festival
Golden Palm Award, and Belle de Jour (1967)
won the Venice Film Festival Golden Lion Award.
