Luis Buñuel, (born Feb. 22, 1900, Calanda, Spainâdied July 29, 1983, Mexico City, Mex.), Spanish film director. As a student at the University of Madrid he met Salvador DalĂ, with whom he later made the Surrealist film Un chien andalou (1928). Buñuel then directed the anticlerical LâĂge dâor (1930) and the documentary Land Without Bread (1932). After working as a commercial producer in Spain and a technical adviser in Hollywood, he moved to Mexico, where he directed Los olvidados (1950) and NazarĂn (1958). He returned to Spain to make Viridiana (1961), which was suppressed in Spain as anticlerical but internationally acclaimed. He attacked conventional morality in such later films as Belle de jour (1967), Tristana (1970), The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972), and That Obscure Object of Desire (1977).
