In his autobiography 'My Last Sigh', Luis Buñuel, one of the greatest film directors of all time and the father of surrealist cinema, writes lyrically and passionately about his middle-class boyhood in a provincial Spanish town. He describes his residence as an engineering student in Madrid, where he began to find his way into the surrealist movement of the twenties, his pilgrimage to Paris, home of surrealism, his association with Max Ernst, Picasso, and André Breton, and his involvement in the Spanish Civil War. But above all, the book is about Buñuel's long and distinguished cinematic career.
Luis Buñuel Portolés was a Spanish filmmaker who worked in France, Mexico, and Spain. He has been widely considered by many film critics, historians, and directors to be one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers of all time. Buñuel's works are known for their avant-garde surrealism which was also infused with political commentary.
