This book is a portrait of this icon - and a memoir of Isaacs own artistic development. Publisher Description Spanish filmmaker Luis Buñuel (1900–83), known for his surrealist themes and unflinching social criticism, was an artist defined by intellectual ambition and controversy. An exile who produced some of his most famous work in Mexico and France during Francos dictatorship, he left a complicated imprint on the creative landscape of the twentieth century and on generations of younger filmmakers—including his Mexican friend Claudio Isaac. Drawn from Isaacs personal papers, Midday with Buñuel: Memories and Sketches, 1973–1983 is an intimate and unconventional portrait of this cinematic icon—and memoir of Isaacs own artistic development.The text includes sketches, vignettes, and anecdotes from Isaacs notebooks, revealing his perspective first as a precocious boy and then as a young man. Isaac reflects on Buñuels presence among a community of exiles, artists, actors, writers, and intellectuals in Mexico City. These are at once touching, perceptive, and critical glimpses into Buñuels roles as husband and father, friend and colleague, surrealist, philosopher, and iconoclast during his last years. Throughout, Isaacs words reveal his deep admiration and affection for an older friend full of contradictions. Intimate photographs from the Isaac family archive complement the writing, and Bryan Thomas Scoulars careful translation makes this text available for the first time in English.Part biography, part memoir, Midday with Buñuel brings to life the creative milieu of Mexico City and gives readers a privileged view of the relationship between these two filmmakers.
