- Title
BUñUEL, POE AND GOTHIC CINEMA.
- Authors
de León, Fernando González
- Abstract
The films of Luis Buñuel have almost always been studied within the critical framework of Surrealism. This essay proposes an alternative perspective and reveals the Gothic aspects of his cinema through an exploration of his involvement in the 1928 filming of The Fall of the House of Usher under the tutelage of Jean Epstein. It then goes on to trace the lasting and fruitful impact of this formative experience on some of his most important works, especially Viridiana.
