Surrealist Film: The Stuff of Dreams[Video recording]
Surrealist cinema sought to break with the conventional linear narrative style in favor of chance events and a world of the subconscious. This program analyzes the origin, evolution and legacy of this cinematic movement whose stylistic artifacts can still be found in today's mass culture. Key figures of Dadaism and Surrealism are highlighted including Germaine Dulac, Luis B~unuel and Man Ray with excerpts from their works and other films of the genre. 2005. 39 min. DVD 4145

Aitken, Ian.
"Distraction and Redemption: Kracauer, Surrealism and Phenomenology." Screen, v. 39 no2 (Summer '98) p. 124-40.
"Part of a special issue on surrealism in motion pictures. The writer argues that a common concern with indeterminacy and the concrete connects German film theory with such avant-garde movements as French surrealism. He examines this connection by analyzing the film theory of Siegfried Kracauer, focusing on his interpretation of surrealism, and developing a cinematic model to integrate elements of surrealism with Kracauerian phenomenology and naturalism. He begins with a synopsis of Kracauer's theory of reality and representation, going on to explore his position on surrealism. He concludes by discussing realism within surrealism, especially in relation to the films of Luis Buñuel, presenting a cinematic model that integrates surrealism, naturalism, and phenomenology."

"Entomology as anthropology in the films of Luis Buñuel." Screen; Winter2007, Vol. 48 Issue 4, p425-442, 18p
"he article presents a study on entomology of the films by Luis Buñuel. It aims to seriously take the director's penchant for the zoological by exploring the way in which it is conjoined with a surrealist vision that translates into a distinct cinematic language. The study contends that an examination of L'Âge d'or and Las Hurdes through Buñuel's unique entomological lens reveals the progressive deployment of a philosophical outlook of comparative biology of Roger Caillois. Furthermore, it is an aspect of Buñuel's early films that is part and parcel of his views on anti-artistic film, which produces a leveling effect among biological species in affirming the humanistic aims of surrealism."

The writer discusses Buñuel's work on the occasion of a program of his work showing at the Centre Pompidou and at the Institut Cervantes, Paris, May 3-June 11, 2000. He discusses the unique nature of Buñuel's work, attributing it to a creative impulse born of an amazing and yet mysterious loyalty to himself, regardless of cinematic trends; his focus on the moment when imâges are born in the imagination and his efforts to transform that moment into film; his fascination with things unfinished and how this comes through in his films; and similarities between his work and that of Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick."

The works of Spanish director Luis Buñuel left a legacy in the motion picture and art industry that tore down the walls of tradition and presented a medium for reality. Buñuel's works focused on the elements of the society he grew up in.

Melodramatic motion pictures exploit gender stereotypes, but the films of Luis Bunuel in this genre subvert those limitations. The main characters in 'Subida al cielo' and 'Susana' use sexuality to achieve their goals and, although they are punished accordingly, continue to oppose patriarchal authority with feminist consciousness.

He contends that Buñuel was in fact exactly like the characters in his films. He also comments on the making of Viridiana, which was subsequently banned by the Spanish authorities." [ArtAbstracts]

"Seventy years of reviews on director Luis Buñuel and the over-thirty films that he has produced should have revealed much about the man and the workings of his mind. However, Buñuel's films remain teasing, quite secretive and withdrawn. Three new books have been written on the director: 'Buñuel,' 'L'âge d'Or,' and 'Objects of Desire: Conversations with Luis Buñuel.' 'Objects of Desire' is highly recommended as it helps non-Hispanics to grasp Buñuel's Spanish-ness and deadpan humor." [Expanded Academic Index]

"Part of a special issue on surrealism in motion pictures. The writer discusses surrealist practice in relation to film. The surrealists saw film as the ideal medium for expressing and exploring their concerns for several reasons, including its perceived similarities to the state of dreaming, which seemed perfect for their exploration of dreams and subconscious wishes. Such ideas underpin surrealist theory and practice in relation to film--the belief that the viewer's is an essentially creative role in negotiating a film's meaning--as well as perhaps forming the basis for the belief that film is inherently surrealistic. Beginning with an examination of the scene in Luis Buñuel's 1929 film Un Chien andalou, in which a razor slices open an eye and its contents spill out, the writer goes on to examine the idea of cinema as movement and locus within the process of surrealism, concluding that perhaps the surrealists' greatest contribution to film theory was their attempt to understand how films and dreams function as communication systems that are measurably different from verbal languâge."

"Part of a special issue on surrealism in motion pictures. The writer examines the relationship between cinema and the artistic avant-garde of the 1920s and 1930s. Noting that the relationship between the literary avant-garde--especially surrealism--and early French cinema stretches back to the mid 1910s, she asserts that it is the ability of cinema to "visualize dreams" that represents the guiding principle for its appropriation amid the representations of surrealism. She goes on to discuss the work of Louis Buñuel, whose films Un Chien andalou (1929) and L'âge d'or (1930) represent by far the most spoken-about exemplars of surrealist projects in the cinema. She concludes that such works as Jean-Jacques Beineix's 1986 film 37.2[degree] le matin/Betty Blue are examples of the possible reevaluation of surrealist themes and motifs in contemporary cinema."

Limiting himself to the period from the 1920s to the early 1930s and surrealist film criticism to works from that period, including Luis Buñuel's Un Chien andalou, he explores Lacanian-inspired spectatorship theory and the return to history or historical poetics as epitomized by the work of Richard Abel."

"An appreciation of director Luis Buñuel on the occasion of the centenary of his birth. The dominant traits of Buñuel, whose films included Un chien andalou, l'âge d'or, and The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, were a cozy ambiguity and an armchair amorality. He chose not to pass judgment or feign omniscience; in an indifferent universe, his characters are at liberty to bind themselves as they wish. This stoic temperament, which verged on cynicism, was guaranteed to rub right-thinking people up the wrong way. It meant, for the masses wanting an evening's entertainment, no happy endings or satisfying resolutions, no good guys and bad guys. He seldom faltered in his Surrealist beliefs or progressive ideals, despite the disillusionments he later admitted to, he just toned them down as experience dictated. The expression "Buñuelesque" has come to mean anything that is just a bit off or weird and is detectable in the works of such disparate talents as David Lynch, Robert Altman, Carlos Saura, Pedro Almodovar, and Victor Erice."

"The writer discusses the films Le Chien andalou, and L'âge d'or, on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of filmmaker Luis Buñuel. Both films are testament to the great will of the Surrealists: to create imâges that go beyond the reality of art, after the fashion of the great lives as recounted in mythology. The new art of light projection piercing the dark movie theaters seemed to present the opportunity to inscribe dreamlike visions on the plain white canvas of cinema: the imâge of the director's razor slicing the eye at the beginning of the film is thus a sadistic surgery of romantic and symbolic dreams and an exact illustration of the Surrealist doctrine."

Evidence suggests that Jeanne was not only the director's wife but also his muse, the secret model for the women of innocent mien and perverse desire who move so magically through his films and come, so frequently, to no good end.

"The writer examines why Luis Buñuel's surrealist work has fallen out of critical fashion and how it might be rescued from neglect. He posits that the answer to the first question has to do with gender and that the answer to the second question has to do with nationality. He argues for a new reading of Buñuel that neglects surface sexism for the less tangible processes of cross-gender fantasy and identification. He points out that there is no doubt that the question of nationality is crucial to the Buñuel who lived a very public life as an exile. He contends that it is in Buñuel's attitude to nationality, nomadic and shifting, that he draws closer to the postmodern problematic from which he is elsewhere so distant." [ArtAbstracts]

"Argues that "The Phantom of Liberty," directed by Luis Buñuel works by presenting a series of episodes which can be regarded as linear narratives cut short but as potential narrative networks, which, although only partially activated for our experience, can continue to operate and influence each other. Suggests that each episode presupposes the existence of a set of real world power networks. Informs that the narrative networks in which the characters make their moves in the film resemble these real world networks, so the film is understood as realistic to the degree that reality is recognized. Considers the surreal elements, and examines previous critical approaches to this film." [International Index to the Performing Arts]

The insects in Bunuel's films and the creatures in the watertank both convey a sense of mystery that has influenced Wilson's paintings. The debate over whether to kill insects in Bunuel's films points to a reverence for life, as well as a recognition of human mortality." [Expanded Academic Index]

"The writer contends that Luis Buñuel's films can be perceived as an act of war on the conventional story. In Le Fantome de la liberte/Phantom of Liberty, he uses narrative to refute the notion of personal freedom, taking the wreckage of convention to its furthest limits: scrambling and tearing both the practice of narrative and the very notion of human consequence, the possibility of getting logically from here to there. Although some of the gags in the film now look a little slow-moving, the film remains very funny and very disturbing, full of threat underneath its glossy appearance. However, despite the talk of chance in the film, and the appearance of chance in the sequence of events, Buñuel's real interest is not so much in chance but in the feelings the threat of chance raises. The disorderly pattern of recurring images, especially of animals, and the ragged story-line suggest that both narrative and society are versions of captivity, historical and cultural zoos. The film finally questions whether we really want to get out, and why we built the zoo." [Art Index]

"Walter Benjamin and Luis Buñuel combine allegory and Freudian surrealism in their parallel portrayals of the moon and the human eye. A scene from Buñuel's film 'Un Chien andalou' depicts a human eye being sliced by a razor interspersed with shots of clouds on a moonlit night. Freud's parallel between the human eye and the male organ, and the corresponding fear of blindness and castration, provide a powerful physical image. Benjamin's metaphorical use of celestial images serves a more spiritual purpose of attempted theological and aesthetic enlightenment." [Expanded Academic Index]

Carrière, Jean-Claude
"Il faut apporter ses souvenirs -- It Is Necessary to Bring One's Memories." Vertigo :20 [2000] p.24
Discusses Luis Buñuel's 1967 film about prostitution "Belle de Jour." Indicates that the film does not take place in a brothel but rather in a "maison de rendez-vous" ("meeting house") of the 1960s. States that the portrayal of brothels in French cinema is a study of history. Opines that filmmakers who reconstruct brothels today were not at all familiar with them. Remarks that contemporary cinematic brothels are decorative objects, much like ancient Rome as it was presented in the tragedies of Corneille.

"Hooker" (films about prostitution)Film Comment v 23 May/June 1987. p. 25-32
"A recent spate of hooker movies has redefined not only the genre but also the imâge of women for hire. No longer content to stick with the love-for-sale concept, contemporary hooker films like Working Girls, Personal Services, and Mona Lisa stray into social issues, state politics, labor analysis, and the hottest topic of all, real estate. Meanwhile, the silver screen's traditional moral argument against prostitution has been replaced by the imâge of the hooker as a self-determined business woman who is free to rent access to her body to whomever and for whatever price she desires. An overview of hooker films includes discussion of classics in the genre like Luis Buñuel's Belle de Jour and Louis Malle's Pretty Baby and of recent films like Crimes of Passion and Half Moon Street."

"Discusses the metaphoric depiction of debauchery, brothels, and prostitution in several films of Luis Buñuel, including "Le charme discret de la bourgeoisie" ("The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie"), "Viridiana," and "Belle de Jour." Remarks that the metaphoric brothel in "Belle de Jour" does not allow itself to be confined by the walls of the house itself and, as in the other films of Buñuel, that the veritable disorder takes the form of a debauchery."

"Belle de Jour." (Review). Films in Review, XLVI/9-10, Nov-Dec 95; p.98-99.
"The reissue prints of Luis Buñuel's Belle de Jour are in poor condition. The colors of this print have a yellowish cast: Part of the cool style of the film derives from the purity and coolness of Buñuel's color schemes. Worse, the sound becomes harsh when the conversations pass a simple forte. Another questionable feature is the decision to italicize the subtitles during the fantasy sequences." [ArtAbstracts]

"A review of Luis Buñuel's film Belle de Jour, now released on video. Depicting a woman escaping the boredom of her marriâge by resorting to prostitution, the film inverts many of the viewer's most deeply rooted assumptions; prostitution and sadomasochism, activities that are commonly believed to exemplify sexual servitude and women's exploitation, here become vehicles for personal liberation."

"The writer discusses the films Le Chien andalou, and L'âge d'or, on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of filmmaker Luis Buñuel. Both films are testament to the great will of the Surrealists: to create imâges that go beyond the reality of art, after the fashion of the great lives as recounted in mythology. The new art of light projection piercing the dark movie theaters seemed to present the opportunity to inscribe dreamlike visions on the plain white canvas of cinema: the imâge of the director's razor slicing the eye at the beginning of the film is thus a sadistic surgery of romantic and symbolic dreams and an exact illustration of the Surrealist doctrine."

The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz

Donnell, Sidney.
"Quixotic Desire and the Avoidance of Closure in Luis Buñuel's 'The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz.'" MLN (March, 1999):269 (2 pages).
UC users only
Luis Buñuel's 'The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz' is a motion picture set in the time of the Mexican Revolution. The end of the movie reflects the start. Mexican history moves in a circular way, as does Archie's life. The military and the Church affect the autonomy of the nation, while Archie's life appears to be controlled by enchanters and genies. The audience reaction to this movie leads to questions about the issue of closure, which go beyond the way that the movie ends, and involve an interaction between movie and audience.

"Examines the film "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie" (1972) directed by Luis Buñuel, noting it is the middle film in a trilogy that starts with "Milky Way" (1969) and ends with "The Phantom of Liberty" (1974). States that as an essential part of the film's image of life as a "confused labyrinth," picaresque elements provide the film with a tone and structure of meaning that do much to explain its peculiar appeal. Explores "Discreet Charm" in relation to the conventions of the picaresque genre and the baroque mentality it embodies. Emphasizes the role of Rafael, the picareque protagonist, arguing that he is a tongue-in-cheeck self-portrait of Buñuel--a rogue from a Hispanic country who is the primary dreamer of the film."

It epitomizes his own definition of surrealism as 'a poetic...and moral movement.' Made in 1972 at the height of Mao Tse-Tung's Cultural Revolution, it symbolically portrays the decline of social conduct and mores and shows the ruling class to possess the worst of the traits that it hypocritically condemns."

"Buñuel en el valle de la muerte: "Las Hurdes" y la tradicion realista Espanola." Goya no275 Mar/Apr 2000. p. 97-108
"The writer argues that the work of filmmaker Luis Buñuel (1900-83) should be inserted into the realist tradition of Spanish art, particularly that of the Baroque period of the 17th century, culminating with Goya. He maintains that Buñuel's discourse about death and the stâges (hunger, misery, illness) that precede it as evidenced in his 1933 documentary film Las Hurdes, allows him to fit into the Spanish realist tradition. He explores the origins of the poetry of misery and death, which is so typical of the Baroque period and which is omnipresent throughout Buñuel's film. He argues that the exaggeration of reality is the basis of Buñuel's unique and peculiar style. He discusses Las Hurdes under the following headings: putrefaction as a premise, the poetry of misery, the triumph of death, and the extreme reality of Las Hurdes." [ArtAbstracts]

"Luis Buñuel's 1933 film Las Hurdes: Land Without Bread addresses the issue of cultural scapegoating in a resonant but strangely cryptic, equivocal way. Both a documentary and a dismantling of a documentary, the movie shows a string of atrocities that make up Hurdano everyday life, treading a thin line between revolutionary social critique and reactionary revulsion. Characteristic of the movie as a whole is one of its most notorious scenes, in which a goat, whose meat is eaten by the Hurdanos only when the animal dies as a consequence of a fall, plummets down a precipice after being shot. This stâged scene both exemplifies the Hurdanos' dehumanization and thematizes the act of ethnographic representation. Because of its surprising duplicity, however, it also serves to subvert the movie's claims to objectivity and, more importantly, the viewer's certainty about its moral and political stance."

"Contested Territory: The Politics of Geography in Luis Buñuel’s Las Hurdes: Tierra sin pan." Locus Amoenus, no. 2 (1996), pp. 230–42
"As Hurdes (1933), Luis Buñuel’s third film and only documentary, has been the subject of critical attention throughout the past decade. Nevertheless, its early reception during the Thirties and its relationship to the political events of the Second Republic have been scarcely mentioned. This article seeks not only to historically contextualize the film, but also to examine the multiple references within the film to the conventions of documentary, the emerging disciplines of geography and ethnography, and the influence of the film’s cameraman Eli Lotar and dissident surrealism. The article demonstrates that the film engages an aesthetic of collage and juxtaposition to provoke a different understanding of documentary, ethnography and the Spanish landscape."

"Colonial surrealism: Luis Buñuel's Land without bread Third Text no26 Spring 1994. p. 25-32
"Luis Buñuel's 27-minute documentary known as Land Without Bread or Las Hurdes is discussed. The film depicts peasant life in an arid part of upland Spain, which, according to the introductory text frames of the film, was only made accessible by road in 1922. The peasants are unnamed bearers of illness, misery, and trâgedy; life in Las Hurdes is construed strictly as an impoverished or degraded form of a more civilized existence through references to features such as bread and ploughs that are absent, not out of famine or deprivation, but out of ignorance. The condition of these peasants is radically dehistoricized; they are not shown to have any perception of the larger causes of their situation and are unable to improve it. The writer suggests that the denigration of the people depicted is contrived, and that the conventional reading of the film as a straightforward documentary is inaccurate; the film rather shares structures and tropes with colonial discourse."

The study concerns those elements in the film, Los olvidados that align it with documentary practice and gives equal weight to Luis Bunuel's presentation of the film and contemporary reviews in the press, both of which stressed the film's serious social purpose and thereby reinforced an interpretation of the work as nonfiction. Bunuel's conception of the documentary was heavily influenced by his experience of surrealism and of communism.
