Luis Buñuel – The Surrealist Provocateur

From slicing an eyeball in Un Chien Andalou to exposing bourgeois hypocrisy in The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, Luis Buñuel made films that shocked, amused, and unsettled. He carried surrealism from Paris to Mexico to Spain, blending dream logic with razor-sharp satire. Buñuel relished dismantling the respectable, showing desire and repression in grotesque harmony. His cinema is mischievous, dangerous, and endlessly inventive, proof that laughter can be a weapon as sharp as any blade.
