<description>&lt;p&gt;How have we got this far without discussing anything by the original film surrealist, Luis Buñuel? Well, today we rectify the situation and discuss not one but four films from the Spanish exile / expatriate moviemaking legend. In this episode, your hosts examine the previously promised UN CHIEN ANDALOU (1929), THE EXTERMINATING ANGEL (1962), and THE DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOISIE (1972), plus one of his more accessible films, BELLE DE JOUR (1967) with Catherine Deneuve. Among the topics for discussion: Buñuel's peripatetic life and unpopular politics, his roles in both the Surrealist and French New Wave movements, his use of dreams and the subconscious, the targets of his satire, and connections to the works of David Lynch and &lt;em&gt;Last Year at Marienbad&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Episode links:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000320/?ref_=tt_ov_dr" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Luis Buñuel on IMDb&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luis_Bu%C3%B1uel" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Luis Buñuel on Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrealism" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Surrealism on Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_New_Wave" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;French New Wave on Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href= "https://www.thenation.com/article/charismatic-chameleon-luis-bunuel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;J.

Description

How have we got this far without discussing anything by the original film surrealist, Luis Buñuel? Well, today we rectify the situation and discuss not one but four films from the Spanish exile / expatriate moviemaking legend. In this episode, your hosts examine the previously promised UN CHIEN ANDALOU (1929), THE EXTERMINATING ANGEL (1962), and THE DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOISIE (1972), plus one of his more accessible films, BELLE DE JOUR (1967) with Catherine Deneuve. Among the topics for discussion: Buñuel's peripatetic life and unpopular politics, his roles in both the Surrealist and French New Wave movements, his use of dreams and the subconscious, the targets of his satire, and connections to the works of David Lynch and Last Year at Marienbad.
