Levy Collection book		Bunuel / John Baxter London: Fourth Estate, 1995. Call No: 81BUN BAX Author: Baxter, John Source: US Place: London Publisher: Fourth Estate PubDate: 1995 PhysDes: 324 p. ; 20 cm Subject: BUNUEL, LUIS; BELLE DE JOUR (FR/IT, Luis Bunuel, 1967); CHARME DISCRET DE LA BOURGEOISIE, LE (FR/SP, Luis Bunuel, 1972) Summary: "The authorised biography of Luis Bunuel. Dangerous, enigmatic and elusive, Luis Bunuel counts among the greatest creative artists, and one of the least understood major film makers, of the twentieth century. His films, made over a ffity-year period, from his 1929 debut un Chien Andalou, to a late blossoming in the sixties and seventies with Belle de Jour and The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoise, still retain their power to shock. John Baxter's superb biography brings Bunuel into the light for the first time, revealing the character behind the anarchism, the sensitivity behind the cynicism, and analysing his calculated use of the bizarre." - BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [314]-315) and index. ISBN: 1857023536 More info

His distinctly personal style of filmmaking produced such major works as The Big Parade, The Crowd, Northwest Passage, Duel in the Sun, The Fountainhead and Ruby Gentry, and provided successful vehicles for many stars from Lillian Gish, Marion Davies, and John Gilbert to Gary Cooper, Gregory Peck, and Jennifer Jones. In the first book ever written on this important director, John Baxter has succeeded in chronicling the enormity of Vidor's achievement, and by basing much of his analysis on his own interviews with King Vidor, offers the tichest assessment of the man and his films yet published." -Book blurb.
