[romanceyourdemons]

luis buñuel’s controversial documentary land without bread (1933) presents an interesting angle to the major trends of class commentary throughout his filmography. the documentary, which presents visceral accounts of extreme poverty situated in the center of europe and specifically of buñuel’s native spain, parallels his later the exterminating angel (1962) in its very explicit juxtaposition of “modern” prosperity and refinement with a brutal, savage struggle for existence; as well as los olvidados (1950) in its grisly depiction of destitution. the difference between these films and this is the obvious separation between camera and subject in land without bread (1933). the flat-voiced, newsreel-style narration—performed live by the director in original screenings—contrasts viscerally with the shocking images of destitution, disease, and death from within the heart of a nation so proud of its modernization and democratic self-improvement. this shock and contrast, constantly situationally highlighting the proximity of the camera and cameramen to their suffering subjects, whom they never save, is the central goal of the film, stripping away the romanticization of spain and, simultaneously, of the callous travel films turning the suffering in african countries into european entertainment. the film certainly succeeds on that front; however, like in later documentary parody cannibal holocaust (1980), some of the striking, shocking images of everyday brutality were not so incidental to the camera’s presence: buñuel infamously reportedly caused the deaths of two animals, which he filmed to illustrate the omnipresence of cruel, accidental death. by watching the somewhat too-good shot composition of these scenes, one can get a sense from the film itself that these deaths were not true coincidences; however, i cannot guess the extent to which buñuel intended the audience to think that. in any case, the camera’s provocation of its subjects is central to this film, even if it is somewhat unusual in buñuel’s filmography; however, the purpose for which it does this—closing the affective gap between refinement and utter, despicable, dehumanizing poverty—connect land without bread (1933) very strongly to the rest of the director’s work

Why You Need To Watch 'Buñuel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles'

Why You Need To Watch ‘Buñuel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles’

Buñuel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles follows the journey of surrealist filmmaker Luis Buñuel. Much like Another Day of Life , the film combines live-action documentary footage with animation. The graphic content will no doubt shock and disturb many viewers, just as I’m sure Buñuel would have wanted. It’s refreshing to see passionate highbrow discussions about the nature of art and surrealism.…

When ur watching an animated film about the making of a Spanish documentary and then the ending just throws out real low key that the producer was fUCKING EXECUTED

[when-i-sing-you-shout]

Buñuel en el laberinto de las tortugas de Salvador Simó. Una película basada en la novela gráfica de Fermín Solís. Esta película que navega entre la ficción y la realidad nos cuenta todo lo que conllevó para Buñuel grabar el documental "Las Hurdes: tierras sin pan". Una película que ha colocado a Extremadura en el mapa como nunca antes.

Top 100 Comics of 2021

Before you say it let me. This list is wrong. Let’s be honest all lists are wrong because the process is one of the most subjective things you do no matter how hard you try to remain objective. So I am sure there will be comics that I am missing, ones you think are too high, too low, or ones you believe do not belong. If you are inclined you can check out past year’s list…

THE GLOW ANIMATION STUDIO // BUÑUEL IN THE LABYRINTH OF THE TURTLES

cesarin said: Ohhh. What movie you working on?

This one! :D Buñuel was a Spanish surrealistic film director in the first third of the 20th century. This movie will tell the story of how he filmed his documentary Tierra Sin Pan (Land without Bread) in Las Hurdes, an extremely poor and disease-ridden village. 

I absolutely love the style. Maybe in a few months I’ll be able to post some of the shots I animated :D

Also the fact that the word “turtles” is in the title was like a sign.
