I also taped a special on Buñuel that aired a few weeks ago but haven't watched it yet. I'm (very slowly) getting to everything, though!<br /><br />By the way, I didn't mention in the post but many clips (and longer) can be found of the movie on YouTube. Consider this the update.Dwighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13688525659034403580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26428110.post-23080601723759090052013-01-07T13:51:38.182-08:002013-01-07T13:51:38.182-08:00Dwight, I should put in a plug for Buñuel's me...Dwight, I should put in a plug for Buñuel's memoir (available in English as <em>My Last Sigh</em>). If you haven't read it yet (I can't remember if you've talked about it or not previously), you should because it's a hoot. Of course, I should take my own advice and read it again myself [mentally juggling this year's TBR plan already as we speak, ha ha].

Galdós and Buñuel seem to be really made for each other. As I said my appreciation for this movie grew after I read the novel--that doesn't usually happen.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to hearing about <i>The Exterminating Angel</i>!Dwighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13688525659034403580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26428110.post-89609347940530841822013-01-07T12:29:55.056-08:002013-01-07T12:29:55.056-08:00Saw this at least once for a Spanish class years a...Saw this at least once for a Spanish class years and years ago and remember liking it but probably not as much as you did. I still prefer <em>Viridiana</em>, but I'm <em>really</em> looking forward to <em>The Exterminating Angel</em> for my next Buñuel. Very interesting to hear about the changes Buñuel made to the novel in the film adaptation, though.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01746599416342846897noreply@blogger.com
