On our first week in class, we touched on the topic of films by the renowned Spanish-Mexican filmmaker, Luis Buñuel, and explored two reading materials. Throughout the reading I sensed he was a fascinating individual with somewhat of an unfiltered personality. As he mentions in The Comic In Cinema, he praises Harry Langdon and Ben Turpin as being the very pinnacle of happiness. He included the need to add a humorous statement about Ben Turpin being cross-eyed. Yet Bunuel discusses Charlie’s work, which was once a huge lyrical delight but was damaged by intellectuals and lost its uniqueness. Bunuel portrays Charlie as incomplete without Harry Langdon’s influence. This may appear like a comment that most people would not dare to say about another film artist, although he feels no need to sugarcoat things. A similar reflection is shown in his brief critique of Buster Keaton’s College, in which he commends Keaton’s talent for generating humor from simplicity. Buñuel articulates that Keaton’s impassive demeanor and exact physical movements demonstrate that comedy does not have to depend on sound. He conveys his admiration for Keaton’s skill in merging narrative with or without the technique of reality. Keaton is described as representing a completely unique aspect of humanity. The documentary is narrated by Buñuel’s collaborator and his son, as they presented unique experiences and insights from their interaction with Buñuel. It provided a thorough timeline of all his artistic styles and social life before looking deeper into his creative contributions in various regions. It also helped to paint a picture of a man who was influenced by a variety of artists’ work and was experimenting with new elements in film.
