Description
The turbulent years of the 1930s were of profound importance in the life of Spanish film director Luis Bunuel (1900-1983). He joined the Surrealist movement in 1929 but by 1932 had renounced it and embraced Communism. During the Spanish Civil War (1936-39), he played an integral role in disseminating film propaganda in Paris for the Spanish Republican cause.
