Luis Buñuel Portolés was a Spanish filmmaker considered by many critics, historians and film directors to be one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers of all times and the father of cinematographic surrealism.  




This project aims to capture through small animations, the obsessions and fetishes that Buñuel shows throughout his career and works.

The technique of rotoscoping has been used to express Buñuel's style through his own images, but at the same time allowing me to modify them for my own discourse. 


Virgin crying (own image) - The representation in all his films of the Christian religion and the interest in the rituals and the figure of the Virgin. 
Moth or bumblebee of death (Un chien andalou, 1929) - He always shows fauna in his films, in addition to his love for insects.    
Skull made of women (Photograph by Dalí) - Death present directly or indirectly, closely related to love and sex.    
Naked woman dancing (own image) - Sex, eroticism and explicitness in his films 
Man slapping a woman (Cet obscur objet du désir, 1977) - The sexism conveyed by his films, the mistreatment of women and their objectification. 
Pistol (own image) - The director's obsession with guns, sometimes treated as a fetish. 
Woman kissing a bishop (Tristana) - The repression imposed by Christian morality, a subject that affected him during his Jesuit education 
Cutting the eye with a razor (Un chien andalou, 1929) - Violence and sadomasochism always present in his work, morbidity.
