Acevedo-Muñoz 1 Los Olvidados
Acevedo-Muñoz 1 Los olvidados: Luis Buñuel and the Crisis of Nationalism in Mexican Cinema by Ernesto R. Acevedo-Muñoz The University of Iowa Prepared for delivery at the 1997 meeting of the Latin American Studies Association, Continental Plaza Hotel, Guadalajara, Mexico April 17-19, 1997 Acevedo-Muñoz 2 Los olvidados: Luis Buñuel and the Crisis of Nationalism in Mexican Cinema The release of Los olvidados in 1950 is one of the historical markers of what I call the “crisis of nationalism” in Mexican cinema. The film was widely received as the “return” of Buñuel by European critics after the period of unnoticeable activity between 1932, the year of Las Hurdes, and 1946, the year of Buñuel’s incorporation into Mexican cinema and of the production of Gran Casino, which led to Buñuel’s Mexican career of almost twenty years and almost twenty movies. Nevertheless, it is known that at the time of the premiere of Los olvidados in Mexico City (November 9, 1950) the movie was mainly taken as an insult to Mexican sensibilities and to the Mexican nation. The stories of the detractors of Los olvidados are, of course, many and well documented.1 As it was often to be the case with Buñuel’s Mexican period, it took for Los olvidados to gather some prestige abroad before it was welcome in Mexico City. After its triumph at Cannes, where Buñuel won the best director award, Los olvidados had a successful season in a first run theater. Acevedo-Muñoz 3 Buñuel’s relationship with Mexican cinema went through several different stages, but it is significant that Los olvidados is recognized both by international critics and Mexican film historians as the turning point in the director’s entire career.

The Phantom's Liberty Showcase
PRESS RELEASE The phantom’s liberty showcase Tribute to Luis Buñuel (1959-1977) From Wednesday 6 to Thursday 21 December 2017 Cinema Massimo, Screen Three – Turin Forty years from the release of That obscure object of desire, Luis Buñuel’s last film, the National Cinema Museum is presenting a film showcase titled THE PHANTOM’S LIBERTY. Tribute to Luis Buñuel at the Cinema Massimo, from Wednesday 6 to Thursday 21 December, featuring ten films made by this master between 1959 and 1977. Forty years ago, in the summer of 1977, Luis Buñuel’s last masterpiece, That obscure object of desire came out in France. The great Spanish director was to die six years later, not before completing his autobiography Mon dernier soupir (My last sigh), written with his friend and collaborator Jean-Claude Carrière. In order to celebrate this anniversary, we are dedicating a tribute to him with ten film prints restored digitally, documenting the final part of his Mexican adventure and his subsequent return to Europe. The title of this showcase is borrowed from a 2006 essay by Paolo Bertetto, who wrote about Buñuel: «Buñuel’s films constitute cinema’s greatest adventure into the subconscious and imagery. With Buñuel, cinema becomes the most powerful horizon for objectifying, for showing psychic phantoms. From An Andalusian dog to That obscure object of desire, from The golden age to The discreet charm of the bourgeoisie, Buñuel builds a circuit within the complex horizon of desire and its subconscious forms, outlining an extraordinarily rich and singularly heterogeneous universe ». The showcase will be inaugurated on Wednesday 6 December at 4.00 p.m.

Santiago, Chile. [email protected] Resumen El objetivo de este texto es explorar y discutir acerca del modo en que, tanto el cine industrial como el cine de autor realizado en México, Luis Buñuel nos introduce en la fabricación de nuevas representaciones fílmicas de la pobreza. Para ello se analizarán las cintas El gran calavera (1949), Los olvidados (1950), El Bruto (1952) y Nazarín (1959). Se sostiene que estas cintas dejan entrever diferentes formas de inscripción de la pobreza que tensionan la hegemonía representacional impuesta por la época de oro del cine mexicano. Además, se reconoce el ideal del deseo como un mecanismo común en las acciones de sus protagonistas. Palabras clave: Cine, pobreza, México, Luis Buñuel. Abstract The aim of this text is to explore and discuss the way in which both the commercial filmsand the auteur cinema made by Luis Buñuel in Mexico, introduce us to the production of new cinematic representations of poverty. In order to do this, the filmsEl gran calavera (1949), Los olvidados (1950), El Bruto (1952) and Nazarín (1959) will be analyzed. It is argued that these films suggest different ways in which poverty is inscribed that put the hegemonic representation imposed by the golden age of Mexican cinema under tension.

Film for Thought – Nazarin
Film for thought – Nazarin. In Luke 9:23 we read: Then he [Jesus] said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.” Alongside Akira Kurosawa Luis Bunuel is my favourite film director who died in 1983 at the age of 83. He was in the Surrealist Movement which started in the 1920’s, was centred in Paris and was led by Andre Breton. Bunuel spent time with these people and made two films with the artist Salvador Dali. Surrealism was a revolutionary movement that questioned reality through writing and the arts, especially challenging the Bourgeoisie. He left the Surrealist Movement in 1932 after joining the Communist Party in Spain; he felt the two were incompatible. During the Spanish Civil War, when people drove around Madrid with bed mattresses tied to their car roofs so as to avoid being shot by a sniper, Bunuel marched the streets dressed as a high ranking officer barking orders at bewildered soldiers. Or he would dress as a Nun (bear in mind that he had a heavy moustache) and ordered soldiers around as well – they did what they were told. He made films in Spain (1932-37), then America (1938-45) and in Mexico (1946-1965) before returning to Spain from where he had previously been banned entry. His films ran on a tight budget and needed to be turned around in as little as 30 days. Therefore, very few of them run over ninety minutes. One, “Simon of the desert”, only lasts forty-five minutes as the money ran out.

Ebousurrealism and Violence
“Surrealism and Violence. Luis Buñuel’s Los olvidados (The Forgotten Ones)”, Hispanic Horizons. Journal of the Centre of Spanish, Portuguese, Italian & Latin Amerian Studies. Jawaharlal Nehru University New Delhi, 2010: 33-44. ISSN: 0970-7522 SURREALISM AND VIOLENCE, LUIS BUÑUEL'S THE LOS OLVIDADOS (THE FORGOTTEN ONES) Enric Bou Brown University Buñuel, surrealist director In January of 1950 Luis Buñuel writes to his friend José Rubia Barcia about his latest film project. It is a project which he considers to be fundamental for the future of his film career (and his personal destiny) in Mexico, where he arrived in 1947 from Hollywood. The new film will be a "mixture of Tierra sin pan (Land Without Bread) and L’âge d’or (The Golden Age), with the addition of elements from the last fifteen years"1. A few months earlier he had divulged his general idea for the project: "I hope that [Los Olvidados] will be something extraordinary in the current panorama of international cinema. It is harsh and rough and does not spare the audience. Realist, but with a subtle vigorous poetic vein, and at times erotic"2. Los Olvidadosis the third film which Buñuel, after various failures, makes in Mexico. He had gone there to make a cinematic version of Garcia Lorca's play, The House of Bernarda Alba, but the project was never realized. In Mexico he meets the producer Oscar Dancigers and he is commissioned to do a series of jobs. The first is Gran Casino (1947), which is followed by El gran calavera (The Great Madcap, 1949) and, finally, Los Olvidados.
