The daddy of surrealist cinema and one of our all-time favourite atheists, Spanish filmmaker Luis Buñuel also looked enviably good in a hat.
Marking 25 years since his death, this exhibition coincides with a retrospective program of his films, celebrating his pioneering vision. Photographs of Buñuel with his buddies (including Salvador Dalí, Federico Garcia Lorca, Max Ernst and Igor Stravinsky) will be on show along with film posters, letters and a video presentation with Buñuel's anecdotes about his 32 films.
Recommendations in the retrospective include AN ANDALUSIAN DOG (because it's his 1928 collaboration with Dalí featuring women growing beards and eyeballs being sliced), THE EXTERMINATING ANGEL (because it stars Silvia Pinal and has a pretty good title) and THE DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOISIE (because it has garden sex and a really good title); as well as many of his lesser-known films.
