Luis Buñuel, la transgression des rêves

Based on unpublished interviews with the family, Jean-Claude Carrière, his writer and biographer, family archives, mini-fictions that dramatize the memories evoked and in constant echo with the upcoming films whose images seem to crystallize over the narrative, we wish to reinterpret Luis Buñuel's work through these decisive years, revealing hidden coherence, originality and beauty.
