LAS HURDES: A Film By Luis Bunuel

LAS HURDES (1932), the third film by Spanish director Luis Buñuel, is now regarded as the first ever “surrealist documentary”. Buñuel’s view of the impoverished and disease-stricken land of the blighted Hurdanos is filled with grotesque and repellent images. This special ebook companion to LAS HURDES features the first-ever English translation of the film’s ironic commentary, accompanied by rare photographic illustrations; plus two revelatory essays on the art of film-making by Buñuel himself.
