In 1929 Luis Buñuel conspired with fellow surrealist Salvador Dalí to make what has become perhaps the most famous short film in cinema history, Andalusian Dog (Un Chien Andalou) a film that shocked the public, was nearly banned in France, and won these 2 provocateurs a devoted audience.
Five decades later, near the end of a distinguished film career, Buñuel made the Oscar-winning hit, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, a hilarious yet dead-pan send-up of aristocrats, the Church, government, and patriarchy that perfectly straddles the line between society’s most cherished pretensions and complete absurdity.
Both films evince an anti-establishment style of humor and critique rarely seen in movies, and present challenges to viewers brought up in a more concrete, literal age. What will our young film lovers find in the confounding and marginalized genre of surrealist film? Could these movies be even more relevant in the 21st century?
Find out as we confront the wickedly funny and caustic political tableaus of the legendary writer-director, Luis Buñuel.
Hosts: Mark Netter & David Tausik
Panelists: Grace Chapman, Guy Lewis, Kylee LaRue & Jake Flowers
