Luis Buñuel (1900-1983)

The Master. El Maestro. One of my favourite
directors and the Genius behind some of the
best films ever made. The Surrealist period, the
Méxican years and his final European years

Un Chien Andalou 1928 - L'Age d'or 1930 - Los Olvidados 1950 - El
Bruto 1952 - El 1952 - Ensayo de un Crimen 1955 - Nazarin 1959 -
Viridiana 1961 - El Angel Exterminador 1962 - Le journal d'une femme
de chambre 1964 - Simón del desierto 1965 - Belle de jour 1967 - La Via
Láctea 1969 - Tristana 1970 - Le charme discret de la bourgeoisie 1972 -
Le fantome de la liberté 1974 - Cet obscur objet du désir 1977

One of the best films ever made, maybe the greatest.
Indignant but unsentimental Buñuel ascertains
that poverty and slums makes brutal humans. It's a
disturbing and dark drama but also with some of
the Buñuel poetry and surrealism in the famous
dream sequence and in the powerful ending scene

Los Olvidados (The Young and the Damned/Gatans desperados)
+ 1933 Documentary Las Hurdes (Tierra sin pan)

Direction, co-script and production: Luis Buñuel México 1950

French FSF DVD edition

One of Buñuel's best films and from his interesting
Méxican period. Ernesto Alonso is great in this
delightful black crime-comedy melodrama as the
seriously fucked up Archibaldo de la Cruz. Hopefully
there will be a 4K release with english subs coming

Direction and co-script: Luis Buñuel, production: México 1955

Cast: Ernesto Alonso, Rita Macedo, Miroslava Stern, Ariadna Welter

Spanish Cine DVD edition

Absurd and surrealistic drama-comedy where the
Méxican bourgeoisie are in trouble as they just
can't leave a living-room no matter how they try.
Is it a social commentary with Buñuel making fun of
the upper classes thin layer of civilized behaviour
or just Luis Buñuel having surreal fun ?

El ángel exterminador (The Exterminating Angel / Mordängeln)

Direction and script: Luis Buñuel, production: México 1962

Another one of Buñuel's cinematic masterpieces

with clashes between social classes, and with
lots of black humour of course. The lovely Silvia
Pinal in the main role as the pious Viridiana. Won
the Golden Palm in Cannes

Fine melodrama thriller about obsession, when a
middle-aged man with a shoe fetish marries a
younger woman and he goes mad with jealousy
and paranoia turning into a dangerous lunatic.
One of Buñuel's best Méxican films but strangely
obscure and hard to get with english subtitles

with a stylite at the center of it. Black humour,
religion and Sex in the shape of Satan's
Super HOT Silvia Pinal.

St. Ives, The Valachi Papers, The Evil That Men Do
and Kinjite are maybe not cult or classics but Bronson
is a phenomena and in the 1970's he probably was the
most popular actor in the world.
Everyone loved him, his face, his tough persona so
for sure he's something of a film cult icon today

St. Ives - The Valachi Papers - The Evil That Men Do - Kinjite: Forbidden
Subjects - The White Buffalo

Charles Bronson - The iconic film legend with his minimalistic but very
effective style of acting - everyone just loves him. He made his best films
at the end of the 1960's and in the early 1970's.
Later his films often were directed by J. Lee Thompson. Maybe he's best known
for his controversial 1974 vigilante revenge film "Death Wish" (read more
about this film further down on this page)

This well made but controversial crime drama made
already huge star Charles Bronson the most popular
actor in the world. Mild-mannered architect Paul
Kersey gets his daughter raped and wife killed by
thugs and turns Vigilante on the streets of NY
