Land Without Bread (Las Hurdes)



Spanish filmmaker Luis Bunuel is the father of surrealist cinema. "Un Chien Andalou" - an early collaboration with Salvador Dali - is a landmark psychological (Fruedian) film. Bunuel was also adamantly political. He filmed "Land Without Bread" in 1933, just a few years before the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. Once Franco's dictatorship began, Bunuel lived in exile in the United States.
