Abstract

L’œil tranché, d'Un Chien Andalou, le scandale de l’Âge d’or. Une évidence : le projet cinématographique de Luis Buñuel, se place d’emblée sous le signe de la rupture. Une question : la rupture opérée, que peut-il y avoir au-delà ? Comment poursuivre une fois passé le point extrême du refus ? Bunuel aurait pu être le Rimbaud du cinéma. Il aurait pu aussi être de ceux qui sont un jour rentrés dans le rang en abandonnant leurs révoltes de jeunesse. S’il n’a été ni l’un ni l’autre, c’est qu’il a réussi à élaborer une stratégie originale qui lui permette de ne renoncer ni à la création ni à la révolte. Cette stratégie repose sur le paradoxe et sur le jeu : loin de refuser d’abord l’ordre et la loi, les films ne cessent de s’y référer et de les mimer, mais pour les enfreindre et en renouveler indéfiniment la transgression. Cette mise en cause de l’ordre conduit à récuser les catégories fondamentales de notre pensée, de la causalité à la « réalité », de l’identité à la vérité. Ainsi peut s’articuler une parole qui refuse les cadres mêmes qui lui donnent forme. On le vérifie ici avec trois des derniers films de Buñuel : la Voix lactée, le Charme discret de la bourgeoisie et le Fantôme de la liberté.

Abstract

As one of the foremost Spanish directors of all time, Luis Buñuel's filmography has been the subject of innumerable studies. Despite the fact that the twenty films he made in Mexico between 1947 and 1965 represent the most prolific stage of his career as a filmmaker, these have remained relatively neglected in writing on Buñuel and his work. This book focuses on nine of the director's films made in Mexico in order to show that a concerted focus on space, an important aspect of the films' narratives that is often intimated by scholars, yet rarely developed, can unlock new philosophical meaning in this rich body of work.Although in recent years Buñuel's Mexican films have begun to enjoy a greater presence in criticism on the director, they are often segregated according to their perceived critical value, effectively creating two substrands of work: the independent movies and the studio potboilers. The interdisciplinary approach of this book unites the two, focusing on films such as Los olvidados, Nazarín, and El ángel exterminador alongside La Mort en ce jardin, The Young One, and Simón del desierto, among others. In doing so, it avoids the tropes most often associated with Buñuel's cinema--surrealism, Catholicism, the derision of the bourgeoisie--and the approach most often invoked in analysis of these themes: psychoanalysis. Instead, this book takes inspiration from the fields of human geography, anthropology, and philosophy, applying these to film-focused readings of Buñuel's Mexican cinema to argue that ultimately these films depict an overriding sense of placelessness, overtly or subliminally enacting a search for belonging that forces the viewer to question what it means to be in place.

Abstract

Though Luis Buñuel, one of the most important filmmakers of the twentieth century, spent his most productive years as a director in Mexico, film histories and criticism invariably pay little attention to his work during this period. 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.
