My last sigh

Edición de la obra Mon dernier soupir

Luis Buñuel, one of the greatest film directors of all time, the father of surrealist cinema, writes lyrically and passionately about his middle-class boyhood in the provincial Spanish town; his residence as an engineering student in Madrid, where he began to find his way into the surrealist movement of the twenties; his pilgrimage to Paris, home of surrealism; his association with Max Ernst, Picasso, and André Breton; and his involvement in the Spanish Civil War. But Above all the book is, of course, about Buñuel’s long and distinguished cinematic career. (back cover copy)
