Features: "The intention of publishing 'Cinema House' is to create a dialogue field about cinema, film history, film authors, and film theory. I think this is also what I expect from the series 'Transit.' The era of diversification and the monologue cultural structure are perhaps one of the great paradoxes of our time. Through cinema, we return to the 20th century, trying to understand and explore the diverse world and expressions of the new century, multiple possibilities of life and multiple dimensions of existence. Babel Art Plaza · Cinema House Series. 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. From his narration, we see his unique personality: approachable, humorous, but sometimes with strong prejudices toward people and things. What is presented to the readers is the living inner world of a great film master, free of any artifice or pretense—it is simply real.
