Often associated with the surrealist movement of the 1920s, Buñuel created films from the 1920s through the 1970s. Writer Octavio Paz called Buñuel's work "the marriage of the film image to the poetic image, creating a new reality.scandalous and subversive". His first picture, Un Chien Andalou-made in the silent era-is still viewed regularly throughout the world and retains its power to shock the viewer, and his last film, That Obscure Object of Desire-made 48 years later-won him Best Director awards from the National Board of Review and the National Society of Film Critics. When Buñuel died at the age of 83, his obituary in The New York Times called him "an iconoclast, moralist, and revolutionary who was a leader of avant-garde surrealism in his youth and a dominant international movie director half a century later". He has been widely considered by many film critics, historians, and directors to be one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers of all time. Luis Buñuel Portolés ( Spanish: 22 February 1900 – 29 July 1983) was a Spanish-mexican filmmaker who worked in France, Mexico, and Spain.
