Good Films, Cheap Wine, Few Friends: A Memoir

The memoirs of Juan Luis Buñuel (b. 1934 in Paris) offer a first-hand look at the life of a vibrant man who has been surrounded by important figures of the twentieth century, including his father Luis Buñuel, Alexander Calder, Joan Miró, and Orson Welles, among many others. A filmmaker, sculptor, painter and raconteur in his own right, Juan Luis's writings reveal a Buñuelian sense of lucid, dark humor and outrage over society's pretensions and inequities.



These memoirs, originally written for his children, are here generously offered to the public along with an introduction and a rich selection of illustrations and annotations, assembled by Linda C. Ehrlich.
