A-and don't forget LAND WITHOUT BREAD (made after he finished his
collaboration with Dali on UN CHIEN ANDALOU).  LAND WITHOUT BREAD is very
heavy stuff, kind of a melding of very intense surrealism with radical
politics.  L'AGE D'OR, which I believe was made in 1930 or a bit earlier is
also worth searching out.  Its hard to get the context of Bunuel's later more
commercial stuff without seeing his early more radical films.
