![]() ![]() ![]() Maybe I was not surprised to find out that Luis Buñuel was an eternal dreamer, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover his good sense of humour. ![]() Reassuring because, due to his surprising simplicity and modesty, he makes you believe that a wonderful, accomplished life is truly possible. I enjoyed this approach, as it made me realise how many things in his films were taken directly from or influenced by real life, but also because it felt reassuring. Without dedicating too much in the book to his films (I hardly expected him to explain his movies), Buñuel keeps the story centered on his personal life. Another great film maker who recounts his life with cordiality and disarming candour, showing the skills of a story teller. I place Luis Buñuel’s autobiography, My Last Sigh, in the same category with Jean Renoir’s, My Life and My Films. ![]()
