Description
Bunuel knew everyone. He helped Picasso hang Guernica. He was thrown off a Hollywood set by Garbo and attended orgies arranged by Chaplin. He watched Cocteau smoke opium, had his horoscope read by Andre Breton, saw Sergei Eisenstein sell out to capitalism. He tried to strangle Paul Eluard's wife and shared a cell with Trotsky's murderer. He planned to make a pornographic movie with Marcel Duchamp and Fernan Leger, and he fumed while Federico Garcia Lorca tried to seduce his friend and collaborator Salvador Dali. In John Baxter's superb biography Luis Bunuel comes startlingly into the light for the first time. With the cooperation of Bunuel's family and interviews with his collaborators and friends in Hollywood, France, Spain, and Mexico, Baxter delves into unpublished documents, letters, and family records to reveal a man of charm, compassion, and, above all, humor - an artist who disguised his sensitivity in cynicism and a calculated use of the bizarre.
