Good Films, Cheap Wine, Few Friends A Memoir [Hardcover]

The memoirs of Juan Luis Bu?uel (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 Bu?uel, Alexander Calder, Joan Mir?, and Orson Welles, among many others. A filmmaker, sculptor, painter and raconteur in his own right, Juan Luis's writings reveal a Bu?uelian 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.
