Izotova, I. S. Death Theme in the First Bunuel’s Films.

Abstract: The article provides a brief research on the problem of death in the fi rst Bunuel’s fi lms (“Un chien andalou”, 1929, “L’Âge d’or”, 1930, “Las Hurdes. Tierra sin pan”, 1932). The author concludes that the director’s preoccupation by the problem of death, expressed with naturalistic and sexual images and aggressively built narration, results not just from French model of surrealism, but has its own deep grounds in Spanish culture, surrealistic by itself.
