The only book-length English-language study of Buñuel's Mexican films, this book is the first to explore a significant but neglected area of this filmmaker's distinguished career and thus to fill a gap in our appreciation and understanding of both Buñuel's achievement and the history of Mexican film. Ernesto Acevedo-Muñoz considers Buñuel's Mexican films-made between 1947 and 1965-within the context of a national and nationalist film industry, comparing the filmmaker's employment of styles, genres, character types, themes, and techniques to those most characteristic of Mexican cinema. In this study Buñuel's films emerge as a link between the Classical Mexican cinema of the 1930's through the 1950's and the "new" Cinema of the 1960's, flourishing in a time of crisis for the national film industry and introducing some of the stylistic and conceptual changes that would revitalize Mexican cinema.Motion picturesMexicoElectronic books.Motion pictures791.43/0233/092Acevedo-Muñoz Ernesto R.1968-799687MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456407903321Buñuel and Mexico1800028UNINA
