Bun~uel And Mexico

---

'Acevedo-Munoz presents a complex and nuanced account of Bunuel's relations with and role within the Mexican film industry of the period.'�Kathleen M. Vernon, Arizona Jrnl of Hispanic Cultural Stds


Description


Though Luis Bu�uel, one of the most important filmmakers of the twentieth century, spent his most productive years as a director in Mexico, film histories and criticism invariably pay little attention to his work during this period. The only book-length English-language study of Bu�uel's Mexican films, this book is the first to explore a significant but neglected area of this filmmaker's distinguished career and thus to fill a gap in our appreciation and understanding of both Bu�uel's achievement and the history of Mexican film.





Ernesto Acevedo-Mu�oz considers Bu�uel's Mexican films�made between 1947 and 1965�within the context of a national and nationalist film industry, comparing the filmmaker's employment of styles, genres, character types, themes, and techniques to those most characteristic of Mexican cinema. In this study Bu�uel's films emerge as a link between the Classical Mexican cinema of the 1930s through the 1950s and the 'new' Cinema of the 1960s, flourishing in a time of crisis for the national film industry and introducing some of the stylistic and conceptual changes that would revitalize Mexican cinema.
