Despite the fact that the twenty films he made in Mexico between 1946 and 1965 represent the most prolific stage of his career as a filmmaker, these have remained relatively neglected in writing on Bunuel and his work. This book focuses on nine of the director's films made in Mexico in order to show that a concerted focus on space, an important aspect of the films' narratives that is often intimated by scholars, yet rarely developed, can unlock new philosophical meaning in this rich body of work. Although in recent years Bunuel's Mexican films have begun to enjoy a greater presence in criticism on the director, they are often segregated according to their perceived critical value, effectively creating two substrands of work: the independent and the studio potboiler. The interdisciplinary approach of this book unites the two, focusing on films such as Los olvidados, Nazarin, and El angel exterminador alongside La mort en ce jardin, The Young One, and Simon del desierto, among others. In doing so, it avoids the tropes most often associated with Bunuel's cinema-surrealism, Catholicism, the derision of the bourgeoisie-and the approach most often invoked in analysis of these themes: psychoanalysis. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a BunÌuel, Luis, $d 1900-1983 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a BunÌuel, Luis, $d 1900-1983. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00029881 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 880 12 $6 245-00 $a A search for belonging : $b the Mexican cinema of Luis Bu�nuel / $c Mark Ripley. 880 10 $6 600-00 $a Bu�nuel, Luis, $d 1900-1983 $x Criticism and interpretation. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20181116040443.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=92EB0C92580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
