L'âge de la mort du chien: 3 Films By Luis Buñuel

November - December 2009

The Auteurs is now showing 3 films by Spanish surrealist Luis Buñuel in the US to celebrate the release of the beautiful remastering of the filmmaker’s unheralded 1956 French/Mexican co-production Death in the Garden, shot in gorgeous Eastmancolor and starring Michel Piccoli, Simone Signoret, and Charles Vanel.

Death in the Garden and two classic Buñuel films from his earlier and most vividly surreal period, Un chien andalou (1929) and L’âge d’or (1930) are available to watch in the US. The Auteurs is presenting the 1956 film alongside more renowned films made before and after to put it on the context of his career.
