Dave S For those unfamiliar with the works of director Luis Bunuel, Speaking of Bunuel is an excellent introduction. For fans, it provides some excellent insight into the auteur's unique and surreal cinematic visions. The documentary consists primarily of interviews with friends and colleagues, supplemented by archival material outlining Bunuel's life from early childhood to the time of his death. While the seemingly non-stop parade of talking heads does get a bit tiring at times, the insights provided never fail to be of interest. It sometimes feels like an artist as unique as Bunuel deserves a more non-traditional vehicle to document his life, Speaking of Bunuel certainly serves its purpose. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/06/23 Full Review Audience Member A look at Bunuel's life and work, mainly through anecdotes, but probably succeeds more at providing a portrait of the man than his work. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Fine documentary, included on Criterion's second disc of the 'Discreet Charm' special edition, about the life and work of the great Luis Bunuel, with plenty of anecdotes and first person accounts by friends and colleagues. Loving edited, a real tribute. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member I liked this look at Luis Bunuel's life better of the ones offered as special features on the discs with The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie. Mainly this was because it was more in depth. It looks at his career instead of just how he makes a martini. I am now intrigued to view more of Bunuel's films. I think there are some I may like more.
