Bu?uel (1900-1983) came to international attention with his first films, \u003ci\u003eUn Chien Andalou\u003c\/i\u003e (with Dal?, 1929) and \u003ci\u003eL'?ge d'Or\u003c\/i\u003e (1930): two surprisingly avant-garde productions that established his position as the undisputed master of Surrealist filmmaking. He went on to make 30 full-length features in France, the US and Mexico, and consolidated his international reputation with a Palme d'Or for \u003ci\u003eViridiana\u003c\/i\u003ein 1961, and an Academy Award in 1973 for \u003ci\u003eThe Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie\u003c\/i\u003e. He corresponded with some of the most famous writers, directors, actors and artists of his generation and the list of these correspondents reads like a roll call of major twentieth-century cultural icons: Fellini, Truffaut, Vigo, Aragon, Dal?, Unik - and yet none of this material has been accessible outside specialist archives and a very small number of publications in Spanish and French.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJo Evans \u003c\/b\u003eis Senior Lecturer in the School of European Languages, Culture and Society at University College London, UK.
