Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This is a major new study of the films of Luis Bu?uel, Surrealist scourge of the bourgeoisie. Uniquely, the book discusses Bu?uel in the context of the most recent debates in film studies and presents important new readings of the whole range of his work, from the `popular' Mexican movies of the 1950s to such classics of European cinema as The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, That Obscure Object of Desire, and Belle de Jour.
MoreLong description:
This is a major new study of the films of Luis Bunuel, surrealist scourge of the bourgeoisie and enduring influence on European cinema.
Uniquely, the book offers an extended analysis of Bu?uel's films in the context of contemporary debates in film studies, focusing in particular on questions of subjectivity and desire. Throughout, Bu?uel's films are viewed as both the brilliant, subversive expressions of the director's fantasies and obsessions and as reflections of wider cultural norms and preoccupations. Making use of psychoanalysis and gender theory, Peter Evans explores Bu?uel's characteristic thematics of transgression and his status as exile or outsider. The whole range of his work is discussed, from the critically neglected `bread and butter' Mexican melodramas of the 1950s to such classics of European cinema as The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, That Obscure Object of Desire, and Belle de Jour.
Accessible, lively, and compelling, The Films of Luis Bu?uel provides a much-needed revaluation of one of the world's greatest film-makers.
'Evans interprets the films as if they are dreams, teasing out their hidden meanings. It's his ingenuity in doing so that keeps The Films of Luis Bunuel afloat.'
Geoffrey Macnab, Literary Review
