Features: "The intention of publishing 'Cineclub' was to create a dialogue space about cinema, film history, film authors, and film theory. I believe this is also what I expected from the series 'Transit'. The coexistence of a diverse era and a monologue cultural structure is perhaps one of the greatest paradoxes of our time. Through cinema, we return to the 20th century, trying to understand and explore the diverse world and pluralistic expressions of the new century, as well as multiple possibilities of life and multiple dimensions of existence. This book is the autobiography of the surrealist film master Luis Bu?uel, telling the author's ordinary yet legendary life. As a film director who walked alongside the 20th century, he experienced World War I, the Spanish Civil War, and World War II, and was even exiled to Mexico. But none of these hardships could diminish the author's love for life. Through his narration, we see his unique personality: approachable, humorous, but sometimes with strong prejudices toward people and things. Presented to the readers is the living inner world of a great film master, free of any pretense or artifice—it is simply a reflection of authenticity.
