In México, in the 1940s, after meeting an actress from his first films in a dinner, he could start directing mainstream films. An autobiographical writing by Dalí made him out because he commented that Buñuel was an atheist and a communist. In the States he started to work in the cinema section from the Museum of Modern Art (MoMa). But before second world war started, he moved to New York. When the spanish civil war started, he supported the repulican government. After contacting with Hollywood companies, he started working in France for them. This film was a big scandal, being first censored and then forbbiden for almost 50 years. This success catched the attention from vicount Charles Noialles, very intersted in arts, who paid his next film: l'Age d'or. By this time he was also influenced by Surrealism and the Marquis de Sade.ĭalí wrote a script for a very shocking film, 'Un chien andalou', that was quite an event in french intellectual world. Influenced by Fritz Lang, he decided to direct his own films. After finishing his studies, he moved to Paris, where he learned how to direct films from French silent cinema masters. He joined to the student's residency, where he later met Salvador Dalí and Federico Garcia Lorca. When 17, he moved to Madrid to study history at the university. Buñuel was born in Calanda, in Aragón province.
